Detailed explanation-1: -Most of the reabsorption of solutes necessary for normal body function such as amino acids, glucose, and salts takes place in the proximal part of the tubule.
Detailed explanation-2: -The proximal tubule also completes the reabsorption of glucose, amino acids, and important anions, including phosphate and citrate, because it is the sole site of transport of these filtered solutes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Water reabsorption takes place in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) cells, induced by the peptide hormone vasopressin. An increase in 3’5’-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in these cells leads to an increasing permeability of the CCD apical membrane to water.
Detailed explanation-4: -Under normal conditions, the proximal convoluted tubule reabsorbs all of the glucose, lactate, and amino acids in the filtrate and 65% of the Na+ and water.
