The vasa recta are blood capillaries that follow the tubules and reabsorb fluid, molecules and electrolytes that hae diffused away from the tubules into the tissue (interstitium).  Certain parts of the nephron is permeable to certain molecules and not others and this helps the process of diffusion.
