Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tubular reabsorption is the process of moving substances from the filtrate inside a kidney tubule into the peritubular capillaries. Glomerular filtration is the initial process by which blood is filtered in the kidneys, but it does not involve movement of substances from the filtrate into the peritubular capillaries. Tubular secretion is the process of moving substances from the peritubular capillaries into the kidney tubules. Antidiuresis is the process by which water is conserved in the body by reducing urine output. Aldosterone processing is not a recognized term in renal physiology.
