Explain the process of selective reabsorption.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A selective reabsorption takes place when filtrate generated from the glomerulus passes through proximal convoluted tubule. This filtrate contains many useful materials like different ions, glucose, amino acids along with waste materials. Reabsorption of the useful material takes place from the filtrate in proximal tubule to the blood stream in the surrounding. Major part of the water is reabsorbed by the process of osmosis.
