Study Notes
Reabsorption
- Tubular reabsorption is the process by which solutes and water are removed from the tubule fluid and transported into interstitial fluid then into the blood.
Tubular Secretion
- Some drugs are secreted from renal epithelial cells into the lumen of renal tubule.

Description
Explore the essential processes of tubular reabsorption and secretion in renal physiology. This quiz covers how solutes and water are reabsorbed from tubule fluid into the blood, as well as the secretion of drugs by renal epithelial cells. Test your knowledge of these critical kidney functions.
