Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which physiological process is primarily responsible for the reabsorption of water in the kidneys?
  • Step 1: Understand that the kidneys filter blood to create a liquid called filtrate.
  • Step 2: Know that this filtrate contains water, waste, and other substances.
  • Step 3: Learn that reabsorption is the process where the kidneys take back some of the water from the filtrate.
  • Step 4: Realize that this reabsorption happens mainly in a part of the kidney called the nephron.
  • Step 5: Remember that the reabsorbed water goes back into the bloodstream, helping to maintain the body's water balance.
