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: -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: -Water reabsorption is by osmosis through water channels in the membrane. These water channels consist of a family of proteins called aquaporin. At least seven different aquaporin isoforms are expressed in the kidney.
