PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Tubular reabsorption is the process that moves solutes and water out of the filtrate and back into your bloodstream. This process is known as reabsorption, because this is the second time they have been absorbed; the first time being when they were absorbed into the bloodstream from the digestive tract after a meal.

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: -Tubular secretion is the process by which solutes or other materials are transferred from the peritubular capillaries into the renal tubular lumen. Secretion involves the transfer of hydrogen ions, creatinine, drugs, and urea from the blood into the collecting duct of the nephron.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tubular secretion-The filtrate absorbed in the glomerulus flows through the renal tubule, where nutrients and water are reabsorbed into capillaries. At the same time, waste ions and hydrogen ions pass from the capillaries into the renal tubule. This process is called secretion.
