Excretion vs. Elimination
• Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups:
–Undigested solid wastes
–Wastes made by cells
![Page 3: Excretion vs. Elimination. Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups: –Undigested solid wastes –Wastes made by cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551acfc155034656628b6082/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Elimination• Undigested solid waste
leaves your body through the large intestine– Water is removed
from the wastes in the large intestine, which allows for the formation of a solid (feces).
![Page 4: Excretion vs. Elimination. Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups: –Undigested solid wastes –Wastes made by cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551acfc155034656628b6082/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
– The solid wastes moves from the large intestine to the rectum.
– From the rectum, the solid waste is excreted through the anus.
![Page 5: Excretion vs. Elimination. Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups: –Undigested solid wastes –Wastes made by cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551acfc155034656628b6082/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Excretion• When waste products made by cells
(water, heat, carbon dioxide, salts, urea) leave your body
• In many animals, CO2 leaves the body through the lungs
• The liquid waste, urine, is made in the kidneys
![Page 6: Excretion vs. Elimination. Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups: –Undigested solid wastes –Wastes made by cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551acfc155034656628b6082/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Urine: made up of water, heat, harmful chemicals (urea), and some salts
• Perspiration: when heat, water, and salt are excreted by the body through skin (i.e. sweating)
![Page 7: Excretion vs. Elimination. Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups: –Undigested solid wastes –Wastes made by cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551acfc155034656628b6082/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Write the correct waste product next to the excretory organ:1. Skin = 2. Large intestine = 3. Lungs = 4. Kidneys =
(word bank: carbon dioxide, solid wastes, salt, harmful chemicals, water, heat)
![Page 8: Excretion vs. Elimination. Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups: –Undigested solid wastes –Wastes made by cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551acfc155034656628b6082/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The waste products are:Skin = water, heat, saltLarge Intestine = solid wasteLungs = carbon dioxideKidneys = harmful chemicals, heat, salt
![Page 9: Excretion vs. Elimination. Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups: –Undigested solid wastes –Wastes made by cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551acfc155034656628b6082/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Excretory System
• The group of organs responsible for removing waste products from the body = the excretory system
• The main organs are:– Lungs– Kidneys– Skin
![Page 10: Excretion vs. Elimination. Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups: –Undigested solid wastes –Wastes made by cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551acfc155034656628b6082/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Lungs• When we breathe, we excrete CO2
waste, and small amounts of heat and water
• Fact: your lungs are capable of removing alcohol from the blood; this is how a breathalyzer is able to determine a person’s blood alcohol level
![Page 12: Excretion vs. Elimination. Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups: –Undigested solid wastes –Wastes made by cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551acfc155034656628b6082/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Skin• Largest organ; excretes most of the
body’s waste heat
• Also removes some water, salts, and very small amounts of urea
• Perspiration: helps the body ‘cool off’– When sweat evaporates from the skin, it
cools the body, removing heat
![Page 14: Excretion vs. Elimination. Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups: –Undigested solid wastes –Wastes made by cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551acfc155034656628b6082/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Kidneys• Fist sized, bean shaped (i.e. kidney
bean) organs found on either side of the lower spine
• Main job is to filter out wastes from the blood, making them more concentrated in preparation for excretion and, in the process of doing this, retaining as much water as possible
![Page 16: Excretion vs. Elimination. Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups: –Undigested solid wastes –Wastes made by cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551acfc155034656628b6082/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

• The blood enters the kidney through the renal arteries; renal veins carry blood back from the kidneys to the body
• A ureter connects each kidney to the urinary bladder; once urine has formed, the ureter carries the urine (produced after the blood has been filtered for wastes) from the kidney to the bladder
![Page 18: Excretion vs. Elimination. Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups: –Undigested solid wastes –Wastes made by cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551acfc155034656628b6082/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

• Another tube, the urethra, carries the urine out of the body
• In males, the urethra passes through the penis; in females, it lies between the pubic bone and the front wall of the vagina
![Page 20: Excretion vs. Elimination. Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups: –Undigested solid wastes –Wastes made by cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551acfc155034656628b6082/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Nephrons• The filtration of the blood takes
place in minute structures called nephrons, found in the cortex, which is the outer layer of the kidney
• The nephrons estimate at more than 1 million per kidney
![Page 23: Excretion vs. Elimination. Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups: –Undigested solid wastes –Wastes made by cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551acfc155034656628b6082/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

• In spite of their size, the kidneys filter more than 180 L of blood every 24 hours
– Most is reclaimed by the body, only 1.5 L of urine is passed each day
– Your blood passes through the kidneys 300 times per day
![Page 26: Excretion vs. Elimination. Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups: –Undigested solid wastes –Wastes made by cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551acfc155034656628b6082/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Liver• A secondary organ of excretion
• Does not excrete wastes, but is important for excretion
• Handles cell wastes in several ways:1) Breaks down dead red blood cells: pass into digestive tract, then eliminated with solid waste by the bowels
![Page 29: Excretion vs. Elimination. Your body makes several kinds of waste, which fall into two groups: –Undigested solid wastes –Wastes made by cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551acfc155034656628b6082/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
2) Weakens certain harmful substances
3) Changes some harmful substancesEx: the liver makes bile from harmful substances – bile is important in fat digestion – after bile works on fat, it is eliminated from the bowels
4) Combines certain harmful chemicalsEx) liver combines ammonia and some CO2 – forms urea, which the blood carries to the kidneys where it becomes part of the urine
