The excretory system

The excretory system is responsible for removing (eliminate) unwanted substances from the body. It is part of the vital function of nutrition

The circulatory system transports the waste to the excretory system.

The kidneys filter the waste and disolve it in water. The remaining (what is left) fluid (liquid, in this context) is called urine (pee).









Circulatory system



The circulatory system is responsible for transporting nutrients and oxygen around the body.

Nutrients: from the digestive system, to the rest of the body.

Oxygen: from the respiratory system, to the rest of the body.

Also, the circulatory system carries (transports) the waste (unwanted substances) to eliminate.

CO2: from the body, to the respiratory system.

Other waste: from the body, to the excretory system.

It is involved in the function of nutrition.
