Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secretion is the process where solutes such as drugs, excess ions, and other substances are actively transported from the peritubular fluid across the tubular epithelium and into the tubular fluid. This process helps to rid the body of unwanted substances and substances that were not filtered at the glomerulus. Reabsorption, on the other hand, occurs when solutes that are vital for the body are transported from the tubular fluid back into the peritubular fluid in order to be reabsorbed into the body. Filtration is the process by which fluids and solutes are filtered across the glomerulus and into the Bowman's capsule. Therefore, the correct answer is C) secretions.
