Detailed explanation-1: -Most of the solutes get reabsorbed in the PCT by a process called tubular reabsorption. In the loop of Henle, the filtrate continues to exchange solutes and water with the renal medulla and the peritubular capillary network. Water is also reabsorbed during this step.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tubular Reabsorption 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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Water reabsorption occurs in the thin descending limb of the Loop of Henle. It is permeable to water, which means that H2O molecules are freely able to leave it. Similarly to in the PCT, water can leave the thin descending limb into the more concentrated medulla through transcellular and paracellular movement.
