Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Organs of the human excretory system aid in the elimination of nitrogenous wastes from the body. The kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, and urethra are the primary excretory organs. The blood is filtered by the kidneys, and the filtrate recovered is urine.

Detailed explanation-2: -The excretory system consists of organs which remove metabolic wastes and toxins from the body. In humans, this includes the removal of urea from the bloodstream and other wastes produced by the body. The removal of urea happens in the kidneys, while solid wastes are expelled from the large intestine.

Detailed explanation-3: -The excretory system gets rid of noxious and nitrogenous wastes. These nitrogenous waste products, as well as extra salt and water, are eliminated from the body by the excretory system. During cellular respiration, as cells break down carbohydrates, they release water and carbon dioxide as waste.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. The urine goes down tubes called ureters and collects in the bladder.
