1
Q

A
glomerular filtration
tubular reabsorption
tubular secretion
2
Q
glomerular filtration
A
water and solutes move across glomerulus capillaries filtered by capsule
enter renale tubule
3
Q
tubular reabsorption
A
99 percent of filtered fluid returns back to blood stream via peritubular capillaries / vasa recta
4
Q

A
other material is secreted into fluid that entered renal tubules such as waste, drugs and excess ions

A
the blood
6
Q
reabsorption
A
the return of substances to the blood stream
7
Q
absorption
A
entry of new substances into the body
8
