Explanation: 

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: -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’.

Most of the reabsorption takes place in proximal convoluted tubules (PCT).
