Summary Introduction
To determine: The organ systems involved in the elimination of wastes from animal bodies.
Introduction: Animals have different organs and organ systems to perform different functions but all these systems are integrated to ensure proper and coordinated functioning of the body. The integrated and coordinated functioning between the different systems is important to create an integrated and appropriate response to the environment.

The respiratory system is capable of absorbing oxygen and excreting carbon dioxide. The digestive system absorbs nutrients from the diet and excrete indigestible material including wastes. Likewise, the urinary system is capable of absorbing and excreting water and electrolytes according to the needs of the body. These functions may appear to be distinct and separate from each other, but the systems are so organized that they are interdependent on each other and together contribute to the welfare of the body by keeping it in balance or in a state of homeostasis. Create a concept map that illustrates the physiology of acid base balance that unites the three systems (Respiratory, Digestive and Urinary systems) together.

- The extracellular fluid: is equivalent to the plasma makes up about 20% of the total body fluid makes more than 80% of the total body fluid contains more sodium all of the abovearrow_forwardMetabolism of nutrients by body cells produces various wastes such as carbon dioxide and nitrogenous toxins (creatinine, urea, and ammonia), as well as imbalances of water and essential ions. These metabolic wastes and excesses must be eliminated from the body. Essential substances are retained to ensure proper body functioning. Although several organ systems are involved in excreting (getting rid of) toxic cellular wastes, the urinary system bears the primary responsibility for removing nitrogenous wastes from the blood. In addition to this purely excretory function, the kidneys maintain the electrolyte, acid-base, and fluid balances of the blood. Thus, kidneys take care of your blood and are major homeostatic organs of the body. Malfunction of the kidneys leads to a failure of homeostasis, resulting (unless corrected) in death. 1. Complete the statements (hint: read paragraph above): The kidney is referred to as an excretory organ because it excretes also a major homeostatic organ…arrow_forwardOrgan Systems: fill in the blanksarrow_forward

Simple cuboidal epithelial cells are involved in the filtering of blood in the kidney. Pseudostratisfied columnar epithilia occur in a single layer, but the arrangement of nuclei makes it appear that more than one layer is present. Transitional epithelia change in thickness depending on how full the bladder is.arrow_forward
- Describe how body fluids are distributed in compartments.arrow_forwardFill in the organ system table below by either describing the function of the organ system or by identifying the organ system described. Organ System Function Integumentary system Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter blood and are distributed to body cells; indigestible foodstuffs eliminated as feces. Respiratory system Filters blood and excretes metabolic wastes; regulates fluid and electrolyte balance, and pH homeostasis. Endocrine system Returns fluid leaked from blood vessels to blood; disposes of debris; houses white blood cells; carries out immune responses. Cardiovascular system Produces and transports gametes (sperm and egg cells); growth and development of new offspring. Muscular system Protects and supports body organs and provides a framework for muscles used to cause movement; forms blood cells and stores minerals.
