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. This reabsorption may be active, as in the case of glucose, amino acids, and peptides, whereas water, chloride, and other ions are passively reabsorbed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reabsorption takes place in the ‘kidney tubule or nephron’. Different parts of the kidney tubule such as proximal & distal convoluted tubules, Henle’s loop, and collecting duct play a major role in reabsorption. Most of the reabsorption takes place in proximal convoluted tubules (PCT).
Detailed explanation-3: -The reabsorption of most solutes takes place in the proximal convoluted tubules (PCT) of nephrons. Most water, nutrients (amino acids and glucose), and electrolytes (particularly sodium ions and bicarbonates) are reabsorbed from the filtrate in the PCT back into the peritubular capillaries.
