Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Materials are returned to the blood from the filtrate by which of the following processes?
A
filtration
B
excretion
C
selective reabsorption
D
secretion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tubular reabsorption is the process that moves solutes and water out of the filtrate and back into your bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is the process by which certain substances that are required by the body (such as glucose, amino acids, vitamins and water) but have been filtered out of the blood during ultrafiltration, are reabsorbed. As only certain substances are reabsorbed, it is known as selective reabsorption.

Detailed explanation-3: -Selective reabsorption is the process whereby certain molecules (e.g. ions, glucose and amino acids), after being filtered out of the capillaries along with nitrogenous waste products (i.e. urea) and water in the glomerulus, are reabsorbed from the filtrate as they pass through the nephron.

Detailed explanation-4: -Reabsorption allows many useful solutes (primarily glucose and amino acids), salts and water that have passed through Bowman’s capsule, to return to the circulation.

Detailed explanation-5: -As the urine moves along the tubules of the nephrons, some useful substances like glucose, amino acids, salts, and water are selectively reabsorbed from it.
