Question
what is the difference between filtration and reabsorption?
Filtration is the process whereby excess ions are removed from the blood stream. A lot of waqter is involved and it must be reabsorbed into the blood stream. Filtration occurs in the capsule of the nephron and water is reabsorbed in the distal tubules
