2.74 understand that selective reabsorption of glucose occurs at the proximal convoluted tubule
Glucose is a component of golmerula filtrate. Some of the glucose in this filtrate is reabsorbed into the blood stream as it is needed by the body. The first section of convoluted tubules (before the henle loop) is the proximal convoluted tubule, in this area glucose is removed from the nephron and taken back into the blood.
