Excretion in human beings:
Although the kidneys are the main organs of excretion, the skin, lungs and liver also help in excretion.
Skin:
Our skin has sweat glands, through which we excrete small amounts of water, urea and salts.
Liver:
The liver excretes bile, which contains bile pigments. These are produced by the breakdown of old RBCs in the liver. As hemoglobin breaks down, its iron is retained, while the pigment (haem) is excreted with the bile. The liver also excretes cholesterol.
Lungs:
The lungs help in getting rid of carbon dioxide, formed as a result of cellular respiration, through exhalation
plants:
Plants can get rid of excess water by transpiration and guttation. It has been shown that the leaf acts as an 'excretophore' and, in addition to being a primary organ of photosynthesis, is also used as a method of excreting toxic wastes via diffusion. ... Plants also excrete some waste substances into the soil around them
