|
|
Tubular reabsorption
|
|
|
Tubular secretion
|
|
|
Water conservation

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Tubular reabsorption is the process that moves solutes and water out of the filtrate and back into your bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reabsorption is the movement of water and solutes from the tubule back into the plasma. Reabsorption of water and specific solutes occurs to varying degrees over the entire length of the renal tubule. Bulk reabsorption, which is not under hormonal control, occurs largely in the proximal tubule.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hormones control tubular reabsorption to regulate body fluid volumes and solute concentrations. A hormone is a substance that is secreted from an endocrine gland or gonad and transported through the blood to the site of action.
