Excretory System
Description
The Excretory System is the means by which the waste products of metabolism are excreted and by which the proper balance of Water and other bodily fluids are maintained within the bloodstream.
Note that defecation is not considered a component of the Excretory system as it is really the elimination of undigested material from the body and is considered to be a function of the Digestive System.
