It can be used to determine if two sets of data are significantly different from each other and is most applied when the test statistic would follow a normal distribution if the value of a scaling term in the test statistic were known.

Reabsorption

Water and many solutes (e.g., Na+, Cl−, HCO3−, glucose, amino acids, urea, Ca2+, Mg2+, phosphate, lactate & citrate) are reabsorbed from the glomerular filtrate into the peritubular capillary blood.
