What is Understanding Excretion in Animals about?
Excretion is the process of removing metabolic waste and toxic substances, with key functions including maintaining ion levels, body water volume, and osmotic balance. In animals, nitrogenous wastes are primarily excreted as ammonia, urea, or uric acid, with the liver playing a significant role in detoxification and waste processing. The kidney, composed of nephrons, functions through filtration and reabsorption to produce urine, while insects utilize Malpighian tubules for waste removal.
