Glucose is not normally found in the urine because it a. does not pass through the walls of the glomerulus, b. is kept in the blood by colloid osmotic pressure, c. is reabsorbed by the tubule cells, d. is removed by the body cells before the blood reaches the kidney.

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together which of the following parts of a Nephron completely reabsorbs glucose. Is it answer choice. A the proximal convoluted tubule. Answer choice B, the descending limb of the loop of Henle. Answer choice C the ascending limb of the loop of Handel or answer choice D the distal convoluted tubule, let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following parts of a Nephron completely reabsorbs glucose. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall all of the different parts of a Nephron and what they reabsorb. And we can use this table to determine which part of a tubule reabsorbs. What? And since we are looking for the part of an Nephron that completely reabsorbs glucose, we are able to identify that the proximal convoluted tubule or the PC T reabsorbs virtually all nutrients and what we mean by virtually all nutrients. We are talking about glucose, amino acids, vitamins as well as some ions. And since we are looking for which part of a Nephron completely reabsorbs glucose, we know we are talking about the proximal convoluted tubule or the PC T, which is answer choice. A. So answer choice A is the correct answer. Since the proximal convoluted tubule is the only part of a Nephron that completely reabsorbs glucose. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
