The proximal tubule is the site of most reabsorption via glucose transporters (reabsorb 100% of glucose in healthy individuals), approx. 65% Sodium and various other solutes are also reabsorbed.

∙ 13y agoI am assuming you want to know which part of the nephron? If I am incorrect in assuming I apologize.
The Glomerulus (a mass/ball of capillaries= Waste products are removed from the blood, thus the formation of urine has begun.
The Bowman's Capsule = Waste products move from the Glomerulus to this location
The Renal Tubules (divided into 3 parts/sections= Re-absorption of waste products needed by the body to maintain homeostasis occurs here.
1. The proximal convoluted tubule
2. The Loop of Henle
3. The distal convoluted tubule
The Collecting Duct- Empties the remaining waste products, Urine (what was not reabsorbed at the Renal Tubules) empties out into the kidney via the collecting duct.
Hope this helps.

∙ 9y agoReabsorption in a nephron occurs in the Loop of Henle
Reabsorption has been addressed to substances which are absorbed back from the nerphrone back in to the blood(capillaries). On other hand Secretion is the absorption of substances from blood.
Renal Corpsicule - water, solute filtration
Proximal Convoluted Tubule- Reabsorption of water, glucose, amino acids and some minerals. Secretion for H, Ammonia, Urea and Creatinine
Loop of Henle - Reabsoprtion of water and minerals, secretion of Urea.
Early Part of Distal Convoluted Tubule -Reabsorption of water, Na, Cl, Ca.
Last Part of Distal Convoluted Tubule -Reabsorption of water, Na, HCO3 and urea. Secretionof K and H ions.
Reabsorbed material returns back into blood circulation but secretion products become part of urine.
renal corpuscle

∙ 11y agoReabsorption takes place inside the kidneys where small units called "Nephrons" are present. These nephrons are made up of -
Bowman's Capsule
PCT - Proximal Convulated Tubule
Loop Of Henle
DCT - Distal Convulated Tubule
The Loop Of Henle is the site for reabsorption.

How does osomosis occur in the human body?
The reabsorption of water from the kidney tubules back into the blood depends on osmosis.
The processes of filtration and reabsorption that occur in the nephron lead to the formation of?
Urine formation in the kidney
Where does Most electrolyte reabsorption by the renal tublues occur?
Proximal tubule
Why is the reabsorption of certain materials in the kidney is important to your health?
why reabsorption of certain materials in the kidneys is important for the health
The hormone that influences sodium reabsorption in the kidney is?
aldosterone
What are the three regulators of kidney function?
filtration, reabsorption and secretion
When water moves from a nephron in the kidney back to the blood it is called?
Reabsorption
In which two body organs does reabsorption of water take place?
Kidney and Colon
What are the three basic process that occur in the nephron?
Filtration, tubular reabsorption, tubular secretion
Where does the reabsorption of glucose primarily occur in the kidneys?
in the proximal tubules
When you remove the renal capsule from a kidney what portion of the kidney becomes clearly visible?
When the renal capsule is removed from a kidney, the outer layer known as the cortex becomes clearly visible. The cortex is the region of the kidney that contains the renal corpuscles and the convoluted tubules where filtration and reabsorption occur in the process of urine formation.
Where is the nephron loop located?
Filtration, Reabsorption, and Secretion
