Question

how does excretion occur in human beings​

Answer 1

Required Answer:

☑ The removal of waste products from the body is known as excretion. In the human body, kidneys, lungs and skin perform the function of excretion. Lungs remove carbon dioxide as waste. Skin helps in the removal of waste in the form of sweat. However, the major organ involved in excretion is the urinary system, which contains the kidneys to filter the blood and form urine. In human beings, excretion is performed by the excretory system consisting of a pair of kidneys, a pair of ureters, a urinary bladder and urethra. The urine is formed in kidneys and passes on to the urinary bladder via the ureters. The urinary bladder stores the urine until it is excreted through the urethra. 

☑ The kidney contains numerous filtration units called the nephrons. Nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney. The nephrons consist of a network of capillaries associated with a cup-shaped end of a tube in which the filtered urine is collected. When the blood passes through the tube, some substances such as glucose, amino acids, salts, and water are selectively reabsorbed. The final filtrate is collected in the collecting tubule and eventually enters the ureters.
