Which function can be described as the movement of materials from the blood to the tube in the excretory system?

More Information

Tubular secretion is a critical function in the excretory system where additional substances from the blood are added into the filtrate within the nephron, eventually contributing to urine formation.

Tips

Confusing tubular reabsorption with secretion is a common mistake. Reabsorption involves moving substances back into the blood, while secretion involves removing substances from the blood to the renal tubule.
