Afferent arteriole -> Glomeruli -> Bowman's capsule (ultrafiltration) -> PCT (Highly permeable to water and solutes, brush border enzymes) -> Loop of henle (descending: water permeable, ascending: solute permeable) -> Early PCT (solute permeable) -> Late PCT and cortical collecting duct (principal cell - permeability depends on hormones ADH and aldoesterone and intercalated cell: secrtes H+)-> Medullary collecting duct (principal cell) -> Ureter -> Bladder -> Urethra
I'm assuming that the filtrate refered to is that of Bowman's capsule in the kidney. If so then ... The cuboidal cells of the proximal convoluted tubule have long microvilli (brush border) on their apical (inside) surface that dramatically increase the surface area for reabsorption from the filtrate.
The proximal convoluted tubule reabsorbs water, glucose, amino acids, ions (such as sodium and potassium), and other nutrients from the filtrate back into the bloodstream. It also reabsorbs a majority of the filtered bicarbonate, as well as small proteins.
Microvilli are the finger like projections present on the outer surface of the cell. Their function is to increase the surface area of the cells through which the diffusion of materials both into and out of the cell occur. They are also involved in absorption, secretion and cellular adhesion.
small intestine, specifically in the jejunum and ileum. Glucose is absorbed through specialized transport proteins in the epithelial cells lining the small intestinal wall, such as SGLT1 and GLUT2 transporters. This process allows the body to efficiently utilize glucose from the diet for energy production.
This is the pathway of filtration, which takes place in the nephron:1-Glomerulus and Bowman's capsule: Filtration of water and dissolved solutes occurs as the blood is forced through the walls of glamerulus into the Bowman's capsule by fluid pressure in the capillaries ( capillary beds).2-Proximal tubule: Selective reabsorption of nutrients from filtrate back into blood by active and passive transport.3-Descending limb of loop of henle: This is permeable to water resulting in loss of water from filtrate by osmosis. Salt becomes concentrated in the filtrate as descending limb penetrates inner medulla of kidney.4-Ascending limb of loop of henle: Thin segment of ascending limb of loop of henle in permeable to salt resulting in diffusion of salt out of ascending limb.5-Distal tubule: Selective reabsorption of nutrients from blood into nephron by active transport.6-Collecting Duct: Urine formation.
Reabsorption of solutes in the glomerular filtrate primarily occurs through active transport and diffusion in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron. Key solutes such as glucose, amino acids, ions, and water are reabsorbed into the bloodstream in this segment of the nephron.
Glucose that enters the nephron along with the filtrate is normally reabsorbed back into the bloodstream by the renal tubules. This reabsorption process occurs primarily in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron through specialized transporters. If there is excess glucose present, it can lead to glycosuria, a condition where glucose is excreted in the urine.

Urine starts out as filtrate from the glomerular capsule in the kidney. It then enters the proximal convoluted tubule, then the loop of Henle, then the distal convoluted tubule. It then become urine as it enters the renal pelvis and then it travels down the ureters to the bladder until it is convenient to eliminate through the urethra.
Glucose is reabsorbed in the kidney primarily at the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) through glucose transporters like SGLT2 and SGLT1. These transporters help in reabsorbing glucose from the filtrate back into the bloodstream to maintain glucose homeostasis.
Selective reabsorption of glucose occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron. Glucose is filtered out of the blood in the glomerulus, and then reabsorbed back into the blood through the walls of the proximal convoluted tubule.
Glucose in the filtrate is reabsorbed from the nephron back into the bloodstream through the walls of the renal tubules. This process occurs mainly in the proximal convoluted tubule, where glucose transporters actively reabsorb glucose to maintain its concentration in the blood. If there is excess glucose that cannot be reabsorbed, it may be excreted in the urine.
The proximal convoluted tubule reabsorbs water, glucose, amino acids, ions (such as sodium and potassium), and other nutrients from the filtrate back into the bloodstream. It also reabsorbs a majority of the filtered bicarbonate, as well as small proteins.
False
The flow of filtrate and urine through the urinary system can be traced as follows: Glomerulus----> Capsular space---> Proximal convoluted tubule---> descending loop of Henle----> ascending loop of Henle---> distal convoluted tubule---> Collecting duct----> papillary duct------> minor calyce----> major calyce----> renal pelvis-----> ureters-----> urinary bladder-----> external urethral orifice
If glucose is not reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule, it will continue into the loop of Henle and eventually be excreted in the urine. This condition is known as glucosuria, and it may indicate underlying health issues such as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
Reabsorption of high levels of glucose and amino acids in the filtrate is accomplished primarily through secondary active transport in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron. Specific transporters on the apical membrane of tubule cells facilitate the movement of these solutes from the filtrate into the epithelial cells, which are then transported across the basolateral membrane and back into the bloodstream. This reabsorption process ensures that essential nutrients are not lost in the urine.
