Summary Introduction

To review:

The two routes of reabsorption and secretion.

Introduction:

In renal physiology, reabsorption represents the process through which the solutes and water are removed from the tubular fluid and returned to the bloodstream by the nephron. However, secretion is the opposite of re-absorption which represents the process of transferring the materials to the renal tubular lumen from peritubular capillaries.
