Best quote from A Level Biology Revision (Year 13) "The Structure of the Kidneys and the Nephron"

The first part of the nephron involves two processes. Firstly, molecules are filtered out of the blood when it passes through the glomerulus. Secondly, useful molecules are then reabsorbed back into the blood at the proximal convoluted tubule.
