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: -Reabsorption is the movement of water and solutes from the tubule back into the plasma. Reabsorption of water and specific solutes occurs to varying degrees over the entire length of the renal tubule. Bulk reabsorption, which is not under hormonal control, occurs largely in the proximal tubule.
Detailed explanation-3: -This reclamation process occurs through reabsorption in the tubules. Secretion is essentially the opposite of reabsorption. It removes the additional solutes from the plasma and actively transports them to the tubule.
