Excretion System

↳ The process
by which animals rid themselves of waste products and or the
nitrogenous by-products
of metabolism
cells
constantly products from metabolic reactions
→
are waste

→
These waste products are :



↳ ↳ Bile and uric acid )
CO2 pigments ↳
nitrogenous waste 1 ammonia ,
urea

↳ Water



↳
lungs : excrete of CO2
→
Cellular respiration occurs in the cells :

C , H , 20 , t 602 →
6102 +
6h20
→
CO2 is a metabolic waste product
→ The
way
the
body gets rid of it is
through breathing / ventilation
exhalation
breathing out

inhalation
breathing in

Normally
→
stimulus to breathe
an increased concentration of CO2 is the
strongest more
deeply
and more
frequently
less frequent breathing / brain
P ( Oa in blood = stimulus 1the brain ↳ Icon in blood =
decreases
=
frequent breathing frequency and depth of breaths )
→
102 is the
trigger to control
breathing
hyperventilation breathing involves breathing faster and/or deeper than the body

↳ liver red blood cells I
( particularly
① Blood → liver →

kidney → urine

F medium where toxins travel in

② Bile → intestines

Red blood cells made of Heme ( holds
globin /protein
→
are : iron molecule) and portions

, ↳ What happens to the red blood cells :




1 .
Red BC → broken down into heme (holds iron molecules) and
globin / protein molecules

2. Globins are broken down into reusable amino acids
Heme broken down bilirubin

it down )
:
left kidney sits superior to the right
kidney that is inferior in the abdominal

Pathway for urine to urethra

* Urine blood vessels
cortex → contains to connect to
nephrons Calyx → urine
