Solution

Tubular Secretion:

  1. Tubular secretion is one of several processes in the filtration of blood to make urine, which is a liquid waste product.
  2. This is necessary for both waste elimination and acid-base balance in many species' excretory systems.
  3. Tubular cells release hydrogen ions, potassium ions, and other ions into the filtrate.
  4. The ionic, acid-base and other bodily fluid balances are maintained by this mechanism.
