Ureotelism

Introduction This is the process where nitrogenous waste products are excreted in the form of urea. Ureotelic organisms are the organisms that excrete nitrogenous wastes in the form of urea. Ureotelism is one of the three other ways through which nitrogen is excreted from the bodies of living things. The other two processes of nitrogenous … Read more

Your kidneys filter waste and additional fluid from your blood, and your body gets to eliminate them through excretion. If your kidneys don’t work well, those things can stay in your blood. That condition is called uraemia, or uremic syndrome.It will happen as a result of a long-running pathological state, like diabetes or high blood … Read more

Transport of Gases

Introduction Once the diffusion of oxygen occurs across the alveoli, it is transported to the tissues for unloading through the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide diffusion through the alveoli out of the bloodstream follows for expulsion out of the body. Oxygen and carbon dioxide transportation occurs through different mechanisms. Transport of Oxygen in the Blood. Only … Read more

Role of Other Organs In Excretion

Starting from what excretion is, excretion is the process by which animals rid themselves of waste products and of the nitrogenous by-products of metabolism. Through the process of excretion, organisms control osmotic pressure that’s the balance between inorganic ions and water and maintain acid-base balance. This process promotes homeostasis, the constancy of the organism’s internal … Read more
