The removal of wastes produced by living things is called what?

excretion


What are the functions of excretory systems?

The function of the excretory system is called excretion. Excretion is the process of discharging the body's wastes.


Which life function prevents the accumulation of metabloic wastes in a bald eagle?

Excretion is the life function that prevents the accumulation of metabolic wastes in a bald eagle. Through excretion, the bird is able to remove nitrogenous wastes such as uric acid from its body, ensuring that harmful byproducts of metabolism do not build up to toxic levels.


Why is the excretion of nitrogenous wastes a critical issue for survival?

Excretion of nitrogenous wastes is critical because these wastes are toxic to the body if they accumulate. By excreting nitrogenous wastes, the body maintains a balance of these compounds, preventing toxic build-up that can lead to severe health issues and even death. Proper excretion also helps regulate fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.


Besides your urinary system what other organs in your body helps excretion?

The respiratory system (lungs) allows the expulsion of gases and other wastes through respiration, the gastrointestinal system and intestines prepare and move the solid wastes, the liver filters toxins from the blood for excretion, much like the kidneys do to put wastes in the urinary system, the circulatory system (blood) moves the wastes from other parts of the body to the kidneys and liver to be prepared for excretion and the integumentary system (skin) excretes metabolic wastes in sweat and some chemical wastes can be also be excreted in tears.
