i) What are the materials needed to be removed from our body?
ii) From where do these materials removed?
iii) Which organs separate excretory materials? Give examples of excretory wastes.
iv) Explain the term excretion
Dear Student
According to the data provided
i) Creatinine, uric acid and phosphorous needs to be removed from the body.
ii) Creatinine is produced by muscle activity. This is removed by kidneys.
Purine are broken down to uric acid in blood, blood removes it by urinating.
Some foods like beans, nuts, cereals gives us phosphorous which enters into intestine. Kidneys helps to remove phosphorous from the body.
iii) Different organs work to removes waste from the body like lungs and kidneys. Our lungs excrete carbon dioxide and kidneys urea. But, kidney is the main excretory organs of the human body.
iv) Excretion is a biological process by which metabolic waste products and toxic materials are removed from the body of an organism. While as osmoregulation is the process of maintaining an optimal, constant osmotic pressure in the body of a living organism.
