In biology class one day, Mrs. Chabon wrote six physiological functions on the board. Then, she asked groups of students to each
choose the three functions that are purposes of the excretory system. These are the lists they made. Group 1: maintaining pH level of blood; transporting hormones throughout the body; regulating growth Group 2: removing wastes from the body; digesting solid foods; maintaining salt and water balance Group 3: maintaining salt and water balance; maintaining pH level of blood; regulating growth Group 4: removing wastes from the body; maintaining pH level of blood; maintaining salt and water balance Which group correctly listed the functions of the excretory system?
The excretory system is accountable for the eradication of wastes generated by homeostasis. There are many components of the body, which takes part in the procedure, like the liver, sweat glands, the kidney system, and the lungs.
The excretory system withdraws all the wastes from the body via the generation of urine and feces, it maintains the pH level by monitoring the concentration of hydrogen ions from the kidneys, and sustain water balance by monitoring the concentration of water inside the blood plasma at the time of the urea excretion process.
