Filtration
The blood is filtered our by nephrons, each nephron is comprised of a renal corpuluscle (a glomerulus enclosed in a Bowmans's capsule), Bowmans space, a proximal tubule, the distal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle, and a series of collecting ducts that are connected to the bladder. The blood starts in the corpuluscle, and is passed through the the glomerulus, and Bowmans capsule, once filtered the blood travels into Bowmans space, and then travels down the proximal tubule, the loop of Henle, and to the collecting ducts.
Reabsorption
Reabsorption is the process by which a solute and water are moved from the tubular fluids into the blood, and it is a two step process. the first step is the passive transport of extracting substances from the tubule fluid, and put into the renal interstitium. The next step is from the renal interstitium the solute and water are transported into the blood stream. These reabsorption processes are driven by diffusion, active transport and
Reabsorption is the process by which solutes and water are removed from the tubular fluid and transported into the blood.This is a 2 step process, beginning with the active and passive extraction of substances from the tubule fluid into the renal interstitium ( the connective tissue that surrounds the nephrons) and, Starling forces (movement of fluid across capillary membranes).
