Detailed explanation-1: -The kidneys remove from the blood the nitrogenous wastes such as urea, as well as salts and excess water, and excrete them in the form of urine. This is done with the help of millions of nephrons present in the kidney. The filtrated blood is carried away from the kidneys by the renal vein (or kidney vein).
Detailed explanation-2: -Functions of the Excretory System: The function of the excretory system to remove wastes from the body. These wastes include water, CO2, nitrogen, salts, and heat. Metabolism: The process of the body coverting food into energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Human Excretory System (PDF): The excretory system is responsible for removing wastes from the body using organs including the kidneys and the liver. Excretory (Urinary) System (PDF): Liquid waste leaves the body through the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, bladder, and urethra.
Detailed explanation-4: -The urinary tract is a major part of the excretory system. It filters wastes and water from the blood, and eliminates them from the body. The kidneys produce a waste product called urine using special functional units called nephrons. The urine is then excreted from the body.
Detailed explanation-5: -The excretory system removes other waste from our body and keeps our blood clean. The kidneys filter the blood and reabsorb useful nutrients. In the kidneys, waste substances and water form urine.
