2.72 - Water re-absorption


- In the Bowmans capsule - Ultrafiltration takes place 
- When filtration occurs, it filters out too much water
- As filtrate passes along the tube and reaches Collecting Duct 
- As it passes through the Collecting Duct - water is removes from the filtrate. 
- It goes back into the blood stream 

- Water has been selected and reabsorbed into the blood - Selected reabsorption
