About Excretion
Excretion removes metabolic wastes such as carbon dioxide, urea and excess salts, and differs from egestion, which removes undigested food. Questions cover kidney structure, nephron ultrafiltration, selective reabsorption and urine formation, along with the excretory roles of the lungs, skin and liver in maintaining homeostasis.
