No! Secretion is like ruin and excreting is a bal movement

Where does secretion occur?
Tubular secretion occurs in the distal convoluted tubes. The secretion also happens in the collecting ducts and also in the proximal convoluted tubule.
In which region of the nephron does secretion occur?
The distal tubule
Where is the primary site at which tubular secretion occur?
Tubular secretion is a part of urine formation occurring within the nephrons of the kidneys. After glomerular filtration, in which fluids from the blood pass into the glomerular capsule of the renal tubule, the filtrate is subject to tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion within the convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of the nephrons.
what kidney cells perform a secretary function?
Nephrons are the basic unit of the kidney that produce urine. Their processes involve filtration, reabsorption and secretion in different places. The main part of the nephron that is involved with secretion is the Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT). There is very little secretion in the Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT). Usually when you refer to secretion in the nephron, it will be in the DCT.
How is urea reabsorbed?
40-50 % of filtered urea is reabsorbed through passive diffusion in the Proximal Convoluted Tubules. Loop of Henle, Distal Convoluted Tubules and Cortical Collecting Ducts are impermeable to urea. But secretion of urea happens in descending Loop of Henle (This helps to maintain the osmotic gradient in the medulla of the Kidney). There is also re-absorption of urea in the medullary collecting ducts.

In the kidney where does most secretion occur?
Tubular secretion occurs in the distal convoluted tubes. The secretion also happens in the collecting ducts and also in the proximal convoluted tubule.
In which region of the nephron does secretion occur?
The distal tubule
Is the collecting duct the site that drains the distal convoluted tubule?
No, the collecting duct is the site where the filtrate from multiple nephrons is collected and the final adjustments to urine concentration are made. The distal convoluted tubule drains into the collecting duct.
What is the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the kidneys?
The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.
Is the collecting duct part of a nephron?
Distal Convoluted Tubule
What stimulates the secretion of potassium from the peritubular blood into the distal convoluted tubule?
Aldosterone
A tube that receives urine from the distal convoluted tubule?
Collecting duct
The hormone ADH functions to promote water re-abdsorption through the wall of what in the kidney?
distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct.The distal convoluted tubule

Distal convoluted tubules flow directly into what structures?
The structures that distal tubes flow into are the collecting ducts of the kidneys. The collecting ducts are small tubes through which urine flows into the renal pelvis.
