Question

Draw the structure of a nephron and label glomerulus, Bowman's capsule, renal artery, collecting duct.
b) What happen to glucose that enters the nephron along with the filtrate?

Answer 1

b) Glucose present in the blood plasma enters the nephron during the filtration process and after passing through the glomerulus the filtrate enters the renal tubule.

• Reabsorption occurs in the renal tubules where glucose and other nutrients, water etc diffuse out of the renal tubules and enter the surrounding capillaries
• These reabsorbed substances such as glucose and other nutrients are sent back to the bloodstream.
