Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
AS FILTERED MATERIALS PASS THROUGH THE ____, SUBSTANCES NEEDED BY THE BODY ARE REABSORBED
A
GLOMERULUS
B
CONVOLUTED TUBULE
C
URETER
D
URETHRA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The proximal tubules reabsorb about 65% of water, sodium, potassium and chloride, 100% of glucose, 100% amino acids, and 85-90% of bicarbonate. This reabsorption occurs due to the presence of channels on the basolateral (facing the interstitium) and apical membranes (facing the tubular lumen).

Detailed explanation-2: -Tubular reabsorption is the process that moves solutes and water out of the filtrate and back into your bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. This reabsorption may be active, as in the case of glucose, amino acids, and peptides, whereas water, chloride, and other ions are passively reabsorbed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Reabsorption Moves Nutrients and Water Back into the Bloodstream. The glomerulus filters water and small solutes out of the bloodstream. The resulting filtrate contains waste, but also other substances the body needs: essential ions, glucose, amino acids, and smaller proteins.
