Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The proximal convoluted tubule is involved in the reabsorption of water, sodium ions, chloride ions, and sugar from the glomerular filtrate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose, amino acids, NaCl and other essential salts are reabsorbed in the second step of urine formation i.e Tubular Reabsorption. These essential substances are filtered from blood in the first step called glomerular filtration and are reabsorbed as they are vital for body function.
Detailed explanation-3: -The walls of the thick ascending limb are impermeable to water, so in this section of the nephron water is not reabsorbed along with sodium.
