Detailed explanation-1: -The reabsorption of water, salts, and nutrients occurs in the renal tubule of a nephron. Most water (about 70%), salt (65%), and glucose (100%) are reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted region of the renal tubule.
Detailed explanation-2: -The majority of water reabsorption that occurs in the nephron is facilitated by the AQPs. Most of the fluid that is filtered at the glomerulus is then reabsorbed in the proximal tubule and the descending limb of the loop of Henle.
Detailed explanation-3: -The nephrons of the kidneys process blood and create urine through a process of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion. Urine is about 95% water and 5% waste products. Nitrogenous wastes excreted in urine include urea, creatinine, ammonia, and uric acid.
