Excretion Excretion is the removal of toxic chemical substances Toxic substances are poisonous and can harm the cells of the body if not removed

Excretion Skin - Sweat Kidneys-Urine Lungs-Carbon Dioxide + Water

Excretion from Kidneys urea, which is toxic, is produced in the liver from excess protein Toxic urea is removed by and carried by blood to the kidney excess protein from our food is carried from the gut by blood liver

Urea is filtered out of the blood mixed with water and excreted as Urine bladder urethra renal vein renal artery kidney Kidneys ureter bladder urethra

Kidneys bladder urethra renal artery carries blood to kidney renal vein carries blood from kidney kidney filters blood to remove urea Kidneys ureter transports urine to bladder bladder stores urine urethra releases urine

3 the urine leaves the kidney in the ureter Blood 1 blood containing water, salts and urea enters the kidney 2 urea, some salts and water are removed from bloodstream by kidney and form urine 3 the urine leaves the kidney in the ureter salt urea

Urine is stored in the bladder before being released from the body urethra

Excretion from Lungs glucose cell oxygen carbon dioxide and water are waste products of the process of respiration in all the cells of the body cell respiration glucose oxygen energy water carbon dioxide

Excretion from Lungs glucose cell oxygen carbon dioxide and water are waste products of the process of respiration in all the cells of the body glucose oxygen energy water carbon dioxide cell respiration

Excretion from Lungs the carbon dioxide and some of the water is carried to the lungs by the blood to be excreted o c o H o c o H

Excretion from Lungs Carbon Dioxide removed Some Water removed

Excretion from Skin Human skin has sweat glands which lead to pores at the surface – water, salt and a tiny amount of urea is excreted as sweat through these pores section of skin sweat gland blood capillaries pore

Excretion from Skin The sweat evaporates taking in LATENT HEAT and so the body cools. section of skin sweat gland blood capillaries pore

Excretion - Summary understand the structure and function of the urinary system: bladder, renal artery, renal vein, ureter, urethra and kidney name the products of excretion: CO2, water and urea understand the function of the skin in the excretion of waste products made in the body recall that waste products are removed from the bloodstream by filtration in the kidneys in the form of urine, which contains urea, water and salts, and that urine is stored in the bladder before being released from the body
