Explanation
The conversion of ammonia into urea occurs primarily in the liver. This process is known as the urea cycle or the ornithine cycle. In this cycle, ammonia, which is toxic to the body, is converted into urea, a less toxic compound, which is then excreted by the kidneys in urine.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
