Excretory System
Excreation is a process of removing substances that are of no use or in excess from body.
Human excretory organs are SKIN, LUNGS and KIDNEYS. If excretory products like urea, carbon dioxide, excess mineral salts and excess water are allowed to accumulate in the body, it will become poisonuis (toxic) and endanger health.
EXCRETORY ORGANS
Excretory Method SWEATING 1)The sweat glands absorbs excretory product from blood capillaries around it. 2)Sweat is eliminated from the sweat gland through sweat pores to the surface of the skin. Excretory Products Water + Mineral Salts + Urea Sweat
EXCRETORY ORGANS
Excretory Method RESPIRATION 1)Carbon dioxide in the blood capillaries diffuses into the alveolus and is eliminated from the lungs when exhaling. 2)Water is eliminated from the lungs in the form of water vapour. Water and Carbon dioxide
Excretory Products

HUMAN KIDNEYS
ORGANS FUNCTION Ureter Channels urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder
Urinary Bladder
Urethra Renal Artery Renal Vein
Stores urine
HUMAN KIDNEYS
Functions of kidneys : a)eliminating excess water and the mineral salts in the body b)regulating the amount of water and mineral salts in the body. c)regulating the blood concentration. d)helping to removes nitrogenous substances like urea and uric acid from the body

excretion in plants
Plants do not have a specific excretory system. Respiration in plants eliminates carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis eliminates excess water nfrom plants. Complex excretory products gather on LEAVES, FLOWERS, BARK, STEMS, FRUIT etc. to be dropped or eliminated. Some excretory products of plants are beneficial while some are dangerouse to humans. Some beneficial excretory products of the plants can endanger human heatlh if misused.
