The heart does work with the 'excretory system' to keep your body healthy. It does in fact work with other systems though.

What is the human body's waste removal system made up of?

The waste removal system, or excretory system, is actually shared by several body systems. The main contributor to excretion is the gastrointestinal tract, GI tract. It is made mainly of epithelial tissue with a mucosal lining and it is in the shape of a tube. The last part of the tube is known as the colon, rectum, anal canal, and anus. The waste removal system and excretory system are two different things, the waste removal system includes the GI tract as mentioned wheres the excretory system does not. The main system of waste removal is the urinary system where nephrons in the kidneys filter the blood of most of its contents then allow the blood to reabsorb whatever it needs. The nephrons then join a collecting duct where all the things they have kept (what was not reabsorbed) is collected together and carried to the ureters, then the urinary bladder, and finally through the urethra out of the body. On a cellular level the system that removes waste it the cardiovascular system. Blood is pumped around by the heart. As it approached cells in its capillary bed is has a very low concentration of wastes (e.g. CO2) and so diffusion takes the waste products from the cells and into the blood where it is then carried off to be removed.

What is the order of movement through the digestive system?

- Mouth, chewing, and saliva; - Throat/esophagus; - Stomach & Stomach Acid; - Duodenum; - The Bile Duct and the Pancreatic Duct Join in the Duodenum; - Pancreas, Pancreatic Fluid and neutralizing of stomach acid; - Small Intestine performs the primary nutrient absorption; - Large Intestine primarily absorbs water, although, some of the bacteria in the intestine will produce vitamins including vitamin K and short chain fatty acids that are absorbed. - Rectum


What is the organ called that releases digestive juices into the small intestine?

Yes, it releases digestive juice into small intestine. The common bile duct join the pancreatic duct, the bile from common bile duct and pancreatic juice from pancreatic duct empty into duodenum (of small intestine) through the sphincter of oddi (valve) if it is opened. The opening of this valve is controlled by a hormone called Cholecystokinin.


How do cells come together to make organ system?

Cells come together to make an organ system by coming together to make tissues, which makes organs which then make organ systems. These organ systems come together and make an organism.
