hey guys,
could you explain the filtrate path in the nephron with each part of of it (secretions and absorption with mentioning where it is active and passive)?

thanks

active occurs in both but mostly in the area which is regulated by hormones (distal convuluted tubule and collecting duct). passive is also scattered but mostly in the proximal side. don't worry about the details of what is active and passive just understand the basics and regulation (i think regulation is the most important thing) and where most gets reaborbed and where most gets secreted along with glucose, amino acids, big plasma proteins (which don't enter filtrate) and water etc.
