What to Focus On

  • Excretion removes harmful and unwanted wastes from the body.
  • Urea and uric acid are nitrogenous wastes formed from excess amino acids.
  • Bile pigments, extra water, extra salts, and extra vitamins are also excreted.
  • The renal excretory system has four main parts: kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.
  • The right kidney lies slightly lower than the left kidney.
  • Ureters carry urine to the urinary bladder.
  • The cortex is the outer darker region of the kidney.
  • The medulla is the inner lighter region of the kidney.
  • The renal pelvis collects urine from the medulla.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Excretion means only passing urine.

The kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra all make urine.

The right kidney is higher than the left kidney.
