Why is the liver considered part of the digestive and the excretory system?

The excretory system is not actually a system onto itself, but a combination on different body systems that that perform a similar function. The two main ways our bodies remove waste products are through the digestive system and the urinary system in the excretion on feces and urine. But other systems also contribute to excretion of wastes like the respiratory system that excretes carbon dioxide. Another is the skin that also excretes waste products through sweat. So, the answer is that many different system all contribute to removing unwanted products from your body. And that is the definition of excretion.
