2.73 - Glucose re-absorption

Selective re-absorbtion means the molecule is selected and re-absorbtion means it will go from the glomereule filtrate back into the blood

- filtration occurs in Bowmans capsule - contains glucose in the plasma, along with H2O, Salt and urea.
- end of nephron is where the Urine comes out
- If you have glucose in your urine - it means you have diabetes either high or low deficiency.

- Proximal Convoluted Tubule - glucose is removed and taken back into the blood
