Why do you think capillaries surround the long tubules of nephron?

The kidney's function in filtration. The renal tubules located with in the kidney's and also known as nephrons, are the functioning units of the kidney's. Blood carries nutrients and waste. The renal tubules are surrounded by a capillary network so the blood can expel the waste material that is collects from the body. the renal tubules also replace nutrients and water that is still needed back into the capillaries.

Why we can't see the glumerular capsules convoluted tubules kidney loops or collecting ducts individually?
glomerular,capsules,Convoluted tubules ,kidney loops are the parts of Nephron... Nephron is the basic unit of a kidney.... group of nephrons constitute the kidney.. so you can't see all of them as individuals... I think you may have got your answer... Thanks.

What is a cluster of blood capillaries which filters fluid?
I think the answer you are looking for is the glomerulus.
What is the difference between secretion and excretion?
AnswerI think you are referring to physiology, like the kidneys, right? In that case... Secretion is an active process. In the kidney tubules, somethings, like K+ is secreted from the peritubular capillaries, into tubular cells, and then out into the lumen to mix with the fluid.Excretion is passive. What is excreted by the kidneys is everything that is not reabsorbed and what is secreted. So that means, after all the re-absorbing and secreting processes of the cells, everything that's left in the tubules is excreted into the urine.
