releasing cellular
wastes from an
organism.
water
perspiration
urine
carbon dioxide
Why is a.) they must continually
excretion intake and output
necessary for water.maintain water

b.) export molecules or
the cell gets bigger and
bigger
c.) dispose of waste

products that are toxic
(cell metabolism)

When water, salts,
urea, glucose,
amino acids
diffuse out of the
blood stream into
the kidneys
When materials
flow through the
kidneys, some
materials may be
reabsorbed into

To replace any
substances that
need to be in the
bloodstream
Examples

Amino acids
a.) water
b.) urea
c.) salts
Is a nitrogenous
compound that is the
end product of
protein digestion
From the liver

Tubes that are connected
to the kidneys and the
urinary bladder
Responsible for
transporting urine
A muscular organ that is
connected to the
urethra and the ureters
Responsible for storage

of urine until elimination
A tube connected to the
urinary bladder and in
direct contact with the

Sweat gland: gland
that produces and
secretes (releases)
sweat.
Capillaries: blood
vessels that allow the
exchange of various
nutrients and wastes
among cells.
Excretion
How does the excretory system
malfunction?
handout.
Normal Kidney
Abnormal Kidney
1. Jaundice: Metabolic waste of bile are
reabsorbed by blood, while bile is not
secreted properly. Causing a yellowing of
the skin and eyes.
2. Gout: Uric acid deposits in
joints.
Rich diet of purines (high protein) and

excessive drinking
2. Kidney Stones: Various substances
crystallize out of urine into urinary tract
or kidney and do not pass through
urethra.
3. Kidney Failure:
Inability of kidney to filtrate and
absorb nutrients properly. Excess
waste and fluids build up in the
body- death occurs if not treated.
Dialysis acts as an artificial kidney. There are
two types of treatment: hemodialysis and
peritoneal (sac around the abdominal organs)
dialysis.
About 90 percent of dialysis patients receive

hemodialysis: the blood is circulated outside the
body and cleaned inside a machine before
returning to the patient.
What is this?
LIVER
Whats wrong with these livers?
CIRRHOSIS
4. CIRRHOSIS: is scarring of the liver and poor liver
function as a result of chronic liver disease.
Causes: excessive DRINKING

of ALCOHOL
