Secretion of substances into the filtrate occurs primarily in the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting duct in the nephron of the kidney. This process helps in regulating the composition of the urine by removing additional substances from the blood and adding them to the filtrate for excretion.
Reabsorption is the term used to describe the process of substances being taken back into the bloodstream from the filtrate in the kidneys.
In the nephrons, the filtrate from the blood is processed to reabsorb essential substances like water, glucose, and electrolytes, while removing waste products like urea. By the time the filtrate reaches the collecting duct, most of the water and necessary solutes have been reabsorbed, and what's left is predominantly waste material that will be excreted as urine.
In Bowman's capsule, the filtrate typically does not contain large molecules such as proteins and blood cells. These components are too large to pass through the glomerular filtration barrier and remain in the bloodstream. The filtrate primarily consists of water, electrolytes, glucose, and small waste products like urea. Thus, the absence of proteins and red blood cells is a key characteristic of the filtrate entering Bowman's capsule.
Substances like glucose, amino acids, and ions are reabsorbed by capillaries in the kidney. Waste products like urea and creatinine are typically removed from the filtrate and excreted in urine.

A filtrate doesn't contain insoluble substances but can contain soluble substances.

Nephrons. This includes the glomerulus where the blood stream encounters a connective tissue filter, the loop of Henle where the filtrate is concentrated and salts are exchanged and the collecting duct into which urine is collected.

Filtrate is made by passing a liquid through a filter, such as filter paper or a membrane, to separate solid components from the liquid. The solid substances are retained by the filter while the liquid, along with any dissolved substances, passes through as the filtrate.
Substances that may be in the filtrate after the soap was filtered out include water, dissolved salts, impurities or contaminants, and any other soluble components that were present in the original mixture.
The Bowman's capsule is the part of the nephron that filters substances from the glomerulus. It surrounds the glomerulus and is responsible for collecting the filtrate that is produced.

reabsorption of most of the required substances from the filtrate
The kidneys remove toxic substances from the blood. The main substance that the kidneys filtrate from the blood is known as urea.
