When Does Renal Reabsorption Occur

Question

When does renal reabsorption occur?
A) When water and dissolved solute move from the tubules into the peritubular capillaries
B) When water and dissolved solute move from the tubules into the glomerular capillaries
C) When water moves from the collecting duct into the renal pelvis
D) When water and dissolved solute move from the peritubular capillaries into the renal tubules

Accepted Answer

Renal reabsorption occurs when substances are moved from the tubules (in the nephron) into the peritubular capillaries (surrounding the nephron). This process allows for the reabsorption of water and necessary solutes back into the bloodstream, while also helping to maintain proper electrolyte balance in the body.
