2.73 glucose reabsorbtion

• selective reabsorbtion - the molecule is selected (glucose) and put back into the blood
• filtration occurs in bowman's capsule
• Gluscose was one of the filtrates taken out of the blood.
• Urine does not usually contain glucose (urine containing glucose is usually diagnosed as diabetes)
• But the reason why glucose is present in the urine after being filtrated out of the blood is because in the proximal convoluted tubule section glucose is removed and taken back into blood
• so glucose is reabsorbed into the blood in the PCT
