Solution

(i) Urinary excretion = tubular reabsorption + tubular secretion – Glomerular filtration.
Tubular reabsorption: Tubular reabsorption is the process by which the nephron removes water and solutes from the fluid into the tubules (pre-urine) and returns the same to the blood which is circulating.
Tubular secretion: It is a secretion of hydrogen and ammonium ions from the blood into the tubular fluid that helps to keep blood pH and maintain osmolarity.
(ii) Dialysis fluid = Plasma– nitrogenous wastes
Nitrogenous wastes: Any metabolic waste product that contains nitrogen is called nitrogenous waste.
