**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Tubular Secretion**: Tubular secretion is a process that occurs in the nephrons of the kidneys, specifically in the renal tubules. It involves the movement of substances from the blood into the tubular fluid. 2. **Identifying the Direction of Movement**: In tubular secretion, substances are leaving the bloodstream. This means that they are being transported from the blood into the renal tubules. 3. **Types of Substances Involved**: The substances that are secreted can be categorized into two main types: - **Substances Too Large to be Filtered**: These are molecules that cannot pass through the glomerular filtration barrier due to their size. Examples include certain antibiotics and toxins. ...
