Functions of the Excretory System
The excretory system functions as the bulwark and balance to the digestive system. While we consume food and drink to nourish the body and provide energy, the excretory system ensures that homeostasis is maintained, irrespective of changes to the nutritive value of food.
It regulates the fluid balance of the body, maintaining adequate salt and water levels. When there is excess water, it is removed through the production of hypotonic urine. When we consume salty food, or lose water through perspiration, the concentration of urine is increased, to preserve the osmolarity of body fluids.
The excretory system, especially the urinary tract, is necessary for preventing the toxic build up of nitrogenous wastes, such as ammonia or urea.
The kidneys secrete a hormone called erythropoietin that induces the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells.
Excretory System Organs
The primary excretory organs in the human body are the kidneys, ureters and urinary bladder, involved with the creation and expulsion of urine.

Other organs such as the liver, large intestine and skin are also necessary for the excretion of specific metabolic
