Waste is removed from the body in various ways. Kidneys filter out metabolic waste, excess fluid and eliminate it in the form of urine. Lungs exhale CO2 from the deoxygenated blood. The undigested solid waste is egested out from the large intestine. Excretion is the process of removing wastes and excess water from the body. It is one of the major ways the body maintains homeostasis. Organs of excretion make up the excretory system. They include the kidneys, large intestine, liver, skin, and lungs.
