Basically, a nephron comprises a renal tubule and blood vessels. The renal tubule expands into a cup-shaped structure called the Bowman's Capsule, which contains a ball of capillaries known as the Glomerulus. The Glomerulus is the primary structure of the filtering process.
Reabsorption of glucose can only occur in the proximal tubule and occurs regardless of the concentration gradient as it is completed via secondary active transport. It is reabsorbed using a co-transporter with sodium.pithelial Transport. Sodium is the most important ion in relation to reabsorption from the proximal tubule. Water and chloride follow sodium passively and many other ions, compounds and molecules are absorbed through co-transporters with sodium.
