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.
