Which excretory organ eliminates CO2 from the human body?
A
lungs
B
skin
C
liver
D
kidneys
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lungs are responsible for the excretion of gaseous wastes, primarily carbon dioxide from cellular respiration in cells throughout the body. Exhaled air also contains water vapor and trace levels of some other waste gases. The paired kidneys are often considered the main organs of excretion.

Detailed explanation-2: -CO2 is transported in the bloodstream to the lungs where it is ultimately removed from the body through exhalation. CO2 plays various roles in the human body including regulation of blood pH, respiratory drive, and affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen (O2).

Detailed explanation-3: -The lungs and respiratory system allow oxygen in the air to be taken into the body, while also letting the body get rid of carbon dioxide in the air breathed out.

Detailed explanation-4: -The lungs in the respiratory system excrete some waste products, such as carbon dioxide and water. The skin is another excretory organ that rids the body of wastes through the sweat glands. The liver and intestines excrete bile pigments that result from the destruction of hemoglobin.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system. Since they help in the elimination of carbon dioxide, they also form a part of the excretory system.
