Definition and Mechanism of Excretion
Excretion is the process of eliminating waste products from the body. The waste products are eliminated through the urinary system and the digestive system.
The urinary system eliminates waste products from the body through the kidneys and the bladder. The kidneys filter the blood and remove waste products from the blood. The bladder stores the urine until it is eliminated from the body.
The digestive system eliminates waste products from the body through the intestines and the rectum. The intestines absorb food and water from the digested food. The rectum stores the feces until it is eliminated from the body.
