Reabsorption of useful constituents normally takes place in which one of the following
Correct answer: A. Proximal tubule
- A. Proximal tubule
- B. Distal tubule
- C. Bowman's capsule
- D. Glomerulus
Explanation
Option A is correct.Reabsorption mostly takes place in the proximal tube of nephron. Nearly all of the glucose, water, potassium, and amino acids lost during glomerular filtration re enter the blood through tubules.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
