2. FUNCTION Every cell in the body produces metabolic waste.
The skin, lungs, and kidneys make up this system.

4. SKIN LUNGS Excretes water, salts, small amounts of nitrogenous wastes
Excretes water vapor and CO2

6. URINARY SYSTEM Formation and excretion of urine
Mostly water to keep wastes dissolved and easier to excrete
EX. kidney stones
