Description: Tubular Reabsorption and Secretion

Much of the filtrate is reabsorbed by both active and passive processes.
Especially water, glucose, amino acids, and ions
Secretion helps to mange pH and rid the body of toxic and foreign substances.

Paracellular Reabsorption
   Passive fluid leakage between cells
Transcellular Reabsorption
   Directly through the tubule cells
