Secretion is defined as
the movement of fluid from blood into the lumen of the nephron
the process that selectively removes molecules from the blood and adds them to the filtrate in the tubule lumen
the process of moving substances (e.g. glucose) in the filtrate from the lumen of the tubule back into the blood
the removal of fluid and other substances in the urine ANS the process that selectively removes molecules
from the blood and adds them to the filtrate in the tubule lumen
Reabsorption is defined as
, the process that selectively removes molecules from the blood and adds them to the filtrate in the tubule lumen
the removal of fluid and other substances in the urine
the movement of fluid from blood into the lumen of the nephron
the process of moving substances (e.g. glucose) in the filtrate from the lumen of the tubule back into the blood
ANS the process of moving substances (e.g. glucose) in the filtrate from the lumen of the tubule back into
the blood
