Which materials are excreted by kidneys and lungs?

The kidneys primarily excrete waste products such as urea, creatinine, uric acid, and excess salts and water through urine. The lungs, on the other hand, excrete carbon dioxide, a byproduct of metabolism, and some volatile substances. Both organs play crucial roles in maintaining homeostasis by regulating the body's fluid and electrolyte balance.


Which gland excretes excess salts and water?

The sweat glands excrete excess salts and water through the process of sweating. This helps regulate body temperature and maintain homeostasis.


What organs excrete wastes?

There are several organs that are involved in the process of excretion; the pores of the skin that excrete oil and sweat, the lungs which excrete carbon dioxide, the rectum via the anal canal and anus that excretes feces, and the urinary tract which excretes urine via the urethra. Some anatomists consider the kidneys as the only excretory organ.


Why does the body need to excrete as much water as it brings in?

Water is excreted by three routes from your body. Kidneys, skin, feces and lungs. Kidneys just can not excrete the solutes in powder form. They have to be dissolved in water. Skin can excrete lot of water in hot sunny day. May be up to one liter per hour. This water is used to keep your body cool. Feces carry some more or less water with them. That is the physical property of feces. Water loss from lungs also in inevitable. The exhaled air get saturated with water vapor due very large surface area of gaseous exchange.


How does the excretory system and the Integumentary System work together?

The skin can excrete water and salts by sweating. This process also lowers the body's temperature.
