Purpose of Excretory System• Liquid waste is removed by the kidneys. Located
beside the spine in your back within your ribcage, the kidneys are small bean-shaped organs.
• The kidneys filter the wastes from the blood, forming a liquid called urine.
• The kidneys funnel the urine from 2 separate tubes called ureters and connect to the bladder.
• The bladder stores the urine until muscular contractions force the urine out of the body through the urethra.
• Each day, your kidneys produce about 1.5 liters of urine. All of it needs to be removed from your system. This occurs through urination.
