GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Excretion is the proces s of removing wastes and excess water from the body. It is one of the major ways the body maintains homeostasis. Although the kidneys are the main organs of excretion, several other organs also excrete waste s. They include the large intestine, liver, skin, and lungs.

Detailed explanation-2: -The excretory system works with the endocrine system to help maintain homeostasis. Chemical messengers called hormones signal the kidneys to filter more or less water or salt, depending on the levels of water and salt in the body. For example, when you sweat a lot the water content of your blood can drop.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cells undergo homeostasis by diffusing different ions and molecules to maintain their balance and organisms have multiple systems working together to maintain homeostasis (e.g. vasodilation (cardiovascular system) and sweating (integumentary system) to give off heat, which affects the body as a whole).

Detailed explanation-4: -The excretory system helps maintain homeostasis because it removes toxins from the body and keeps concentrations of nutrients, minerals, and water stable. Homeostasis is a steady, internal state in the body.
