Detailed explanation-1: -Selective reabsorption takes place in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) of the kidney. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the nephron, selective reabsorption occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule because it is highly permeable.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sodium, amino acids, and glucose are reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule by an active process that involves co-transporter proteins.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Final answer: Selective reabsorption of Glomerular filtrate takes place in Proximal Convoluted Tubules and Distal Convoluted Tubules.
