Why is the skin considered an organ of excretion?
The skin is considered an organ of excretion because it sweats, getting rid of toxins and certain mineral salts.
Does sweat excrete through the pours of the skin?
Sweat is excreted through sweat glands, not pores. Sweat glands release sweat onto the skin's surface where it evaporates, helping to regulate body temperature. Pores are tiny openings in the skin through which hair grows.
What is the role of the skin in excretion?
The skin plays a minor role in excretion by releasing small amounts of waste products such as salts and water through sweating. This process helps regulate body temperature and eliminate some toxins from the body. However, the main organs responsible for excretion are the kidneys, liver, and lungs.
When does the skin take part in excretion?
The skin takes part in excretion through the release of sweat, which helps eliminate waste products such as urea, salts, and water from the body. Sweat glands in the skin excrete these waste products through the process of perspiration.

Why is it dangerous to put a freshwater fish in a salt water aquarium?
Fresh water fish differ physiologically from salt water fish in several respects. Their gills must be able to diffuse dissolved gasses while keeping the salts in the body fluids inside. Their scales reduce water diffusion through the skin: freshwater fish that have lost too many scales will die. They also have well developed kidneys to reclaim salts from body fluids before excretion.
What are the organs that are involved in excretion?
The kidney is the main organ, that is responsible for the excretion of waste products. Other organs of excretion are your liver, lungs and skin.
What is the term for waste water and salts that leave the body through the skin?

What body waste is expelled through the skin?
The skin produces sweat, but this is not really an excretion. The main function of sweat is to help cool the body. However sweat also contains small amounts of urea, the main waste found in the urine. The concentration of urea in sweat is much less than that in the urine, so this is not a significant route for excretion. Sweat also contains samll amounts of salts (minerals), but again the urine is the main route for the elimination of excess salt.
