What are the main functions of the system and the individual organs that make up the excretory system?
The excretory system removes metabolic and liquid toxic wastes as well as excess water from the organism, in the form of urine. The excretory system is a passive biological system that removes excess and unnecessary materials from an organism, so as to help maintain homeostasis within the organism and prevent damage to the body. It is responsible for the elimination of the waste products of metabolism as well as other liquid and gaseous wastes. As most healthy functioning organs produce metabolic and other wastes, the entire organism depends on the function of the system; however, only the organs specifically for the excretion process are considered a part of the excretory system. The main function is to remove waist and balancing salt and water levels in various parts of the body to maintain homeostasis. It is comprise of the skin/sweat glands, lungs, kidneys/nephrons, urinary bladder.

What is the function of an earthworms metanephridium?
In earthworm the organs of excretion are the nephridia. Each nephridium is a long tube which opens at one end in to the body cavity by a ciliated funnel, the nephrostome and at the other end to the outside body by an opening, the nephridiophore in the skin. the nephrostome of a nephridium in a segment lies in the segment next in front of it. The nitrogenous wastes, such as ammonia and urea are collected by nephrostome, dropped into the lumen of the nephridium which contracts rhythmically pushing the waste products outside the body for removal through the nephridiophore in the skin.
