Page 1. Introduction. â¢ Once the filtrate is formed, the early tubular segments of the nephron reabsorb solutes and water. back into the blood to restore its volume and composition. â¢ They also remove some solutes from the blood and secrete them into the filtrate to fine tune the. bloodâs composition. Page 2. Goals. â¢ To examine the passive and active processes of reabsorption and secretion. â¢ To understand how filtrate processing differs in early sections of the tubule.
