Tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion differ in that
A) tubular secretion is a passive process; tubular reabsorption uses active transport.
B) tubular secretion adds materials to the filtrate; tubular reabsorption removes materials from the filtrate.
C) tubular reabsorption increases urine volume; tubular secretion decreases urine volume.
D) tubular reabsorption occurs in Bowman capsule; tubular secretion occurs in the peritubular capillary.
E) tubular secretion moves materials from the filtrate into the blood; tubular reabsorption moves materials from the blood into the filtrate.
Tubular Reabsorption
Movement of materials, by means of diffusion, active transport, or symport, from the filtrate within a nephron to the blood.
Tubular Secretion
A process in the nephrons of the kidneys where substances are added to the tubular fluid for excretion, helping to regulate blood pH and remove toxins.
Urine Volume
The total amount of urine excreted by the kidneys over a given period, important in assessing kidney function and fluid balance.
