Explanation:
Blood, first gets filtered through the capillaries and the filtrate is collected in the bowman's capsule.
When this filtrate enters the tubes in the nephron, salts, glucose amino acid and excess water is re-absorbed.
This residue, called urine is taken away from the kidney by the ureters
Hope it helps :)

There are a large number of molecules of water which are absorbed back into the circulation in the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of henle and the distal convoluted tubule.
Explanation:
- A large amount of water is received by the nephron due to the process of ultrafiltration. However when the the water molecule reaches the distal part of the convoluted tubule there is only few molecules of water.
- In addition to what are there are large number of electrolyte such a Sodium Potassium And chloride which are absorbed. This helps in maintaining the osmolarity of the blood
