Question
Chapter 25.2, Problem 2AWYK
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason for similarity in structure in PCT and the small intestine.
Introduction:
The function of the excretory system is to remove the waste of the body. It maintains the chemical composition of the body fluids by removing the unwanted components and maintaining the level of water and electrolytes in the body. Moreover, the level of water in the body is maintained by the excretory system.
