  • Tubular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and glomerular secretion
  • Glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion (correct)
  • Glomerular filtration, glomerular reabsorption, and glomerular secretion
  • What is the relation between GFR and changes in the filtration coefficient?

  • $GFR = \frac{K_f}{\Delta P}$
