2.67b) Human organs of Excretion


Recall that the lungs, kidneys and skins are organ of excretion

1. Lung x 2- release metabolic waste CO2 (carbon dioxide)
2. Kidney x 2 - excretion of excess water 
- molecule urea (nitrogen waste from amino acid as we can't store it so we excrete them) 
- salts
3. Skin - water & salts --> sweat
- little bit of urea
