Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The majority of water that's filtered in the nephrons during urine formation is reabsorbed through the passive process of osmosis, where water moves from an area of low solute concentration (the nephron) to an area of high solute concentration (the surrounding tissues and blood vessels). This allows for the reabsorption of water back into the body, while allowing waste and excess solutes to be excreted in the urine. Active transport, exocytosis, and pinocytosis are not the primary processes involved in the reabsorption of water in the nephrons.
