Introduction
The removal of toxic , waste metabolic
products from the body is known as
excretion.All plants and animals
produces harmful substances during
metabolic activities such as co2
,ammonia, urea and uric acid.
Excretory organs
SKIN
LUNGS
RECTUM
LIVER
KIDNEY
Excretory organs
1-SKIN- Skin is the one of the excretory organs
which remove salts and other metabolic wastes
of body cells through sweat and regulate body
temperature.
Lungs:-Lungs help in the
release of carbon dioxide
from the body which is formed
during respiration.
Liver- liver also performs
excretory functions which are
as follows :1 – Bile pigments are produced
in liver which are discharged in
the alimentry canal
2-Liver converts harmful toxic
substances into harmless
substances which are formed
during metabolic activities.
LIVER
Rectum

Solid wastes containing undigested
food are removed through anus .

Anus
The Kidney
The human kidneys:
are two bean-shaped
organs, one on each
side of the backbone.
Represent about 0.5%
of the total weight of
the body, But receive
20–25% of the total
arterial blood pumped
by the heart.
Each contains from
one to two million
nephrons.
Internal structureIn longitudinal
Section We see
Renal cortex outer
part having
Malpighian
corpuscles .
Medulla having
Henley's loop
and collecting
tubules
Each kidney is made up of numerous (about one million )
coiled tubules , known as uriniferous tubules or nephrons .
In other words , nephron is the structural and functional unit
of kidney.
NEPHRON
(URINIFEROUS TUBULES)
THE NEPHRON
The nephron is a tube; closed at one end, open at the
other. It consists of a:
•Bowman's capsule. Located at the closed end, the wall
of the nephron is pushed in forming a double-walled
chamber.
•Glomerulus. A capillary network within the Bowman's
capsule. Blood leaving the glomerulus passes into a
second capillary network (not shown in the figure)
surrounding the
•Proximal convoluted tubule. Coiled and lined with cells
carpeted with microvilli and stuffed with mitochondria.
•Loop of Henle. It makes a hairpin turn and returns to
the
•Distal convoluted tubule, which is also highly coiled
and surrounded by capillaries.
•Collecting tubule. It leads to the pelvis of the kidney
from where urine flows to the bladder and, periodically,
on to the outside world.
Fuction of kidney:-Kidneys play
an important role in regulating the
composition of blood by filteration . They
maintain mineral balance ,exact proportion
of water and acid –alkali balance in the
blood .They regulate the osmatic pressure
of the body.
Filtration of blood
Filtration
Formation of Urine
The nephron makes urine by
filtering the blood of its small molecules and ionsand
then
reclaiming the needed amounts of useful materials.
Surplus or waste molecules and ions are left to flow out
as urine
The steps:
Blood enters the glomerulus under pressure.
This causes water, small molecules (but not
macromolecules like proteins) and ions to filter through
the capillary walls into the Bowman's capsule. This fluid
is called nephric filtrate. As the table shows, it is simply
blood plasma minus almost all of the plasma proteins.
Essentially it is no different from interstitial fluid.
Process of urine formation
IMPORTENCE OF EXCRETION
1-It regulate pH , osmotic
pressure and structure of
body.
2- Harmful byproducts
throw away from body.
3- It maintain Homeostasis.
Disorder of Kidney
1- Dialysis – Kidney function less urea increase
in blood . The urea is separated from body by
dialysis.
2-Diuresis –dilute urine comes due to increase
water ,less secretion of ADH .Increase BP.
3-Kidney stone –Oxilate crystal collect and chock
tubules .It is treated by laser rays
Point to remember
•The removal of harmful, toxic wastes from the body
is known as excretion.
•Ammonia is the main nitrogenous waste formed in
the body due to the metabolism of proteins.
The
•Solid wastes containing undigested food are
removed through the anus and liquid nitrogenous
wastes are excreted through skin and kidney.
•Kidneys are the main organs of excretion in man
which separate nitrogenous waste from blood .
•In higher animals,liver ,lungs skin,rectum.and kidneys
also constitute the excretory organs .
•The nephron is the structural and functional unit of
Exercise
