The excretory system, also known as the urinary system, is responsible for eliminating nitrogenous wastes from the body. It primarily involves the kidneys, which filter blood to remove waste products like urea, creatinine, and uric acid, producing urine for excretion. This system plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis by regulating fluid balance and electrolyte levels while removing harmful substances.
The urinary system excretes nitrogenous wastes. The lungs excrete carbon dioxide.
nitrogenous wastes
There are no noticeable difference in fetal elimination of nitrogenous wastes which would account for the structural differences between pigs and humans. Waste is eliminated through urination.
Urine contains nitrogenous wastes.
the kidney is referred to as an excretory organ and excretes urea, which is a less toxic form of uric acid.
Embryos do not excrete nitrogenous wastes into the environment but rather rely on the mother's body to remove these wastes through the placenta. The mother's kidneys process the nitrogenous wastes from the embryo's blood and excrete them into her own bloodstream for elimination.
Urinary system
The plants wastes are eliminated in a very simple way. They are normally removed from the system of the plants through the stomata. This is in the same way that CO2 enters into the plants.
The three major nitrogenous wastes found in the blood that must be disposed of are urea, creatinine, and uric acid. These wastes are produced from the breakdown of proteins in the body and are eliminated primarily through urine. Failure to properly remove these wastes can lead to health issues.
Common nitrogenous wastes in urine are: urea, uric acid and ammonia.
Urea is the less toxic in nature among the nitrogenous wastes where as Ammonia is 100,000 times toxic than urea.
Food in your digestive system is broken down, has valuable nutrients absorbed, and the wastes eliminated.
