Question 89

Needed water and dissolved materials are present in nephron fluid. What does selective reabsorption do with them?

  1. Sends all useful substances out of the body
  2. Moves them from blood into the nephron
  3. Prevents any water returning to blood
  4. Returns them from nephron fluid to bloodCorrect answer
