This term means the entry of substances into the body from the filtrate.
A
Reabsorption
B
Secretion
C
Excretion
D
Filtration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -By the time the filtrate has reached the mid part of the proximal tubule, 100% of the filtered glucose and amino acids have been reabsorbed, and large amounts of sodium, bicarbonate, phosphate, lactate, and citrate ions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Filtration involves the transfer of soluble components, such as water and waste, from the blood into the glomerulus. Reabsorption involves the absorption of molecules, ions, and water that are necessary for the body to maintain homeostasis from the glomerular filtrate back into the blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reabsorption. Around 99 per cent of the filtrate obtained is reabsorbed by the renal tubules. This is known as reabsorption. This is achieved by active and passive transport.

Detailed explanation-4: -Reabsorption is the movement of water and solutes from the tubule back into the plasma. Reabsorption of water and specific solutes occurs to varying degrees over the entire length of the renal tubule. Bulk reabsorption, which is not under hormonal control, occurs largely in the proximal tubule.
