One accessory excretory organ is the SKIN.
But how does it help in excretion?
- In our body, kidney is the main organ of excretion which helps us to excrete out majority of the the toxins by-products and drugs in the blood.
- However, skin also acts as an important accessory organ in excreting out a number of substances.
- Majority of heavy metals like arsenic and mercury are excreted out through the skin.
