Understand that water is reabsorbed into the blood form the collecting duct
The blood went through ultrafiltration under high pressure in Bowman's capsule, and gumerula filtrate, which contains glucose, water, salts and urea, is formed.
However, when filtration occurred, it will filter out too much water. As the filtrate passes along the tubules and reaches the collecting duct and passes through it, water is removed from the filtrate and is returned back into blood vessel. Water has been selected and is reabsorbed into the blood. We call the process selected reabsorption of water, and it occurs in the collecting duct.
