In the kidneys, substances such as glucose, amino acids, certain ions (like sodium and potassium), and water are removed from the filtrate and reabsorbed by the capillaries during the process of tubular reabsorption. This process occurs primarily in the proximal convoluted tubule and is essential for maintaining the body's fluid and electrolyte balance. Additionally, bicarbonate ions are reabsorbed to help regulate acid-base balance.
