Which substances appear in the urine due to tubular secretion?
Potassium ions
Which part of the renal tubules does the glomerular filtrate flow through first?
Proximal tubule
What is the equation that represents urinary excretion?
Urinary excretion = Glomerular filtration - Tubular reabsorption + Tubular secretion
Test your knowledge on renal tubules and their functions in this quiz. Learn about the flow of glomerular filtrate and the selective reabsorption and secretion processes that occur in the proximal tubule, loop of Henle, distal tubule, collecting tubule, and collecting duct.
