Part A - Defining Renal Functions Match each of the following terms with its correct definition. Filtration 1. The first process in urine formation that pushes a fluid similar in composition to plasma into the renal tubule. Secretion 2. The movement of molecules from the tubule lumen into the peritubular capillaries. Reabsorption 3. The transfer of molecules from the extracellular fluid of the peritubular capillaries into the lumen of the nephron. Excretion 4. The elimination of urine from the body into the external environment.
