Correct answer: C. Tubular secretion
- A. Glomerular filtration
- B. Excretion
- C. Tubular secretion
- D. Tubular reabsorption
Explanation
The mechanism by which substances are removed from the blood and are directly added to the tubular fluids is called tubular secretion. Tubular secretion is an active process that uses energy to transport substances from the blood into the tubular fluid.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
