Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrogen, creatinine, and drugs are removed from the blood and into the collecting duct through the peritubular capillary network.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose, amino acids, NaCl and other essential salts are reabsorbed in the second step of urine formation i.e Tubular Reabsorption. These essential substances are filtered from blood in the first step called glomerular filtration and are reabsorbed as they are vital for body function.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
