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: -Tubular reabsorption is the movement of substances into the blood from the filtrate.
Detailed explanation-3: -Reabsorption takes place in the ‘kidney tubule or nephron’.
