glomerular filtration
|
|
|
tubular reabsorption
|
|
|
tubular secretion
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Under normal circumstances, up to 180 g/day of glucose is filtered by the renal glomerulus and virtually all of it is subsequently reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule .
Detailed explanation-2: -The kidneys reabsorb filtered glucose through the sodium‐glucose cotransporters sodium‐glucose cotransporter (SGLT) 1 and SGLT2, which are localized on the brush border membrane of the early proximal tubule with immune detection of their expression in the tubularized Bowman capsule.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tubular Reabsorption Most of the reabsorption of solutes necessary for normal body function, such as amino acids, glucose, and salts, takes place in the proximal part of the tubule.
