Introduction:

The formation of urine depends upon the ultrastructure of the nephron that changes based on the function of the segment they are in. The process is completed by three-step; filtration, reabsorption and secretion. The reabsorption is the mechanism in which water and solutes are transported back into the bloodstream. It plays a pivotal role in several homeostatic processes, including the reabsorption of sodium chloride and potassium secretion.
