Detailed explanation-1: -Tubular reabsorption is the process that moves solutes and water out of the filtrate and back into your bloodstream. This process is known as reabsorption, because this is the second time they have been absorbed; the first time being when they were absorbed into the bloodstream from the digestive tract after a meal.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The kidney then reabsorbs many of these substances back into the blood, using a variety of transport mechanisms which include osmosis, facilitated diffusion, active transport, and simple diffusion.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tubular reabsorption occurs when the kidneys reabsorb useful substances, such as glucose, amino acids, and electrolytes, from the filtrate back into the bloodstream. This process occurs primarily in the proximal tubule of the nephron and is critical in maintaining the body’s electrolyte and fluid balance.
Detailed explanation-5: -In renal physiology, reabsorption or tubular reabsorption is the process by which the nephron removes water and solutes from the tubular fluid (pre-urine) and returns them to the circulating blood.
