Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During urine formation, the tubular cells secrete substances like hydrogen ions, potassium ions and ammonia into the filtrate. This process is called tubular secretion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tubular secretion is the opposite process, where the kidneys secrete waste products, such as excess potassium or hydrogen ions, from the bloodstream into the tubular fluid. This process occurs primarily in the distal and collecting tubules of the nephron.
