3
Function Removal of metabolic (cellular) wastes from the body
4
Metabolic wastes: –CO 2, H 2 0, salt, nitrogenous wastes (urea)
5
PARTS OF THE EXCRETORY SYSTEM
6
Lungs Excrete CO 2 & H 2 O vapor CO 2 & H 2 0 vapor
7
Skin Excrete urea, salt & water in sweat (perspiration)
8
Temperature regulation –Evaporation of sweat from skin cools body Maindex
11
Liver Produces UREA –Released into blood and then moves to kidneys
12
Detoxification = waste products, toxins, and drugs removed from the blood
13
Kidneys a. Filter wastes from blood
16
b. Maintains water balance in body c. Produces urine
17
Did you know… About 440 gallons of blood flow through the kidneys each and every day! If you eat a lot of red beets, your urine will actually be colored red. The average person passes 9,202 gallons of urine in his/her lifetime. That’s enough to fill 315 bathtubs.
19
Urinary System
20
Kidneys Blood filtered Urine produced
21
Ureters Transport urine from kidneys to bladder
22
Urinary Bladder http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAy5C2YYlbk Muscular organ that stores urine
23
Urethra Tube that leads urine out of the body
25
Let’s summarize… 1.Explain the function of the excretory system. 2.Explain the difference between excretion and egestion. 3.Describe the major organs of the excretory system and their functions.
