The excretory system, including organs like the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, serves the vital function of removing waste products and maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.
The kidneys filter blood to eliminate waste, excess water, and electrolytes, forming urine. Ureters transport urine to the bladder, where it is stored temporarily.
When the bladder is full, urine is expelled through the urethra.
This system rids the body of metabolic waste, maintains proper hydration, and regulates electrolyte levels. Its function supports homeostasis, prevents toxin accumulation, and ensures the overall health and functioning of bodily systems.
