Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -There are two routes through which reabsorption can take place: paracellular and transcellular. The transcellular route transports solutes through a cell. The paracellular route transports solutes between cells, through the intercellular space.
