|

|
|
|
volume of plasma from which a substance is removed by the kidney per minute

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -12.3 Tubule Reabsorption/Secretion. Tubule reabsorption is the process by which molecules from the glomerular filtrate are returned back to the plasma. This occurs along the entire nephron unit.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reabsorption Moves Nutrients and Water Back into the Bloodstream. The glomerulus filters water and small solutes out of the bloodstream. The resulting filtrate contains waste, but also other substances the body needs: essential ions, glucose, amino acids, and smaller proteins.
