During urine formation, it is important for sodium and chloride ions to be reabsorbed into the bloodstream so that needed amino acids will be reabsorbed. urea can be secreted. the pH of the blood is maintained. some water will be reabsorbed through osmosis. some glucose reabsorption will occur.

which of the following structures reabsorbs useful substances from the urine?
Adi S.
Reabsorption Secretion Substances that are useful to the body (such as glucose, water, and certain ions) undergo this process. This process can take place in any section of the renal tubule. Substances that undergo this process are excreted. Substances that undergo this process are returned to the blood stream. Metabolic wastes, toxins, drugs, and selected ions undergo this process. This process can take place in the proximal tubule, distal tubule, and the collecting duct.
