Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During which nephron process(es) do substances move from the blood into the filtrate
A
Filtration
B
Reabsorption
C
Secretion
D
Excretion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During filtration, blood enters the afferent arteriole and flows into the glomerulus where filterable blood components, such as water and nitrogenous waste, will move towards the inside of the glomerulus, and nonfilterable components, such as cells and serum albumins, proteins will exit via the efferent arteriole.

Detailed explanation-2: -The blood is under high pressure at the start of the nephron, which aids the filtration of the blood. These waste substances all pass from the capillaries in the glomerulus into the Bowman’s capsule. This purifies the blood. These waste substances then move from the Bowman’s capsule towards the loop of Henle.

Detailed explanation-3: -First of all reabsorption and secretion are two different processes. Reabsorption → back movement of stuff from glomerular filtrate into blood. Secretion → movement of contents from blood enter into nephron.
