WHAT IS A EXCRETION?
• Excretion is defined as the process of
discharging waste matter from an organism.
Every organism has metabolic waste
generated in its body.
• The process of elimination of such waste
from the organism is called excretion.
• In humans and animals, this is generally
carried out by the skin, kidney, and lungs

DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 2
SKIN
•Outer most covering of the body
•15%of adult’s human weight
•Temperature - 37° Celsius
•Sweat glands contains small amounts
of water and other chemicals such as
Ammonia, Urea, Lactic acid and salts
(Sodium Chloride) 6/14/2021
DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 3
KIDNEY LOCATION IN OUR BODY…
• There are two kidneys, each about the size
of a fist, located on either side of the spine at
the lowest level of the rib cage.
Each kidney contains up to a million
functioning units called nephrons. A nephron
consists of a filtering unit of tiny blood
vessels called a glomerulus attached to a
tubule.
6/14/2021
DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 4
KIDNEYS
•Bean shaped organ
•Reddish brown in color
•It lies on either side on vertebral column
in the abdominal cavity
•Right kidney is placed lower than left
•Each is 11cm thick, 5.5cm wide and 2.5
cm thick.
6/14/2021
DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 5
KIDNEY (INTERNAL)
•Outer darker cortex region
•Inner lighter medulla region
•Contains uriniferous tubules
•Medulla-conical masses called
medullary/renal pyramids
•Hilum-inner blood vessels and nerves
enter in and urine leaves out. 6/14/2021
DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 6
HOW IS WASTE REMOVED FROM OUR BODY?
• After the body has taken what it needs,
from the food, the waste is sent
to the blood.
• The kidneys filter out the
waste products and excess fluids
from the body and dispose of them
in the form of urine, via the bladder.
• The clean blood flows back
to the other parts of the body.
6/14/2021
DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 7
URETERS
• Thin muscular tubes
emerging out from hilum
• Urine enters from the
renal pelvis to ureter by
peristaltic movements of
its walls
• Ureters carry urine from
kidney to urinary bladder.
6/14/2021
DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 8
URINARY BLADDER
•Sac like structure
•Lies at the pelvic cavity of
the abdomen
•Stores urine temporarily
6/14/2021
DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 9
URETHRA
•Membranous tube which
conducts urine to the exterior.
•Urethra is closed by urethral
sphincters
•Opens only during at the time
of micturition
6/14/2021
DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 10
FUNCTIONS OF KIDNEY
•Maintains the fluid and electrolyte balance in body
•Regulate acid base balance of blood
•Maintain osmotic pressure in blood and tissues
•Helps to retain the plasma constituents like glucose and
amino acids
6/14/2021
DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 11
CONTD.,
• Maintaining overall fluid balance.
• Regulating and filtering minerals from blood.
• Filtering waste materials from food, medications, and
toxic substances.
• Creating hormones that help produce red blood cells,
promote bone health, and regulate blood pressure
6/14/2021
DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 12
NEPHRON
•Structural and functional unit of kidney
•Consists of Malpighian corpuscle or renal
tubule
•Cup shaped structure- Bowman’s capsule
•Bunch of capillaries called Glomerulus
which enter through afferent arterioles
and leaves out through efferent arterioles
6/14/2021
DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 13
3 MAJOR REGIONS OF NEPHRON
•Proximal convoluted tubule
•Loop of Henle
•Distal convoluted tubule-
collecting tubule
6/14/2021
DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 14
MECHANISM
Glomerular filtration
•Filtration takes with filtration
of blood through epithelial
walls which is known as
glomerular filtrate
•Both essential and non
essential substances present
in blood are filtered
6/14/2021
DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 15
TUBULAR REABSORPTION
Selective reabsorption
•Substances such as
glucose, amino acids,
vitamins, sodium,
potassium bicarbonate
and water are
reabsorbed into the
blood by process of
selective reabsorption 6/14/2021
DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 16
TUBULAR SECRETION
• Substances such as H+ ions or K+ ions are
secreted into the tubule
• Filtrate is known as urine which is
hypertonic in man
• Then it passes into collecting ducts to the
pelvis  ureter  urinary bladder 
urethra
• Healthy person secretes one or two liters of
urine per day.

Excretory system

  • 1. EXCRETORY SYSTEM DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI M.SC., M.A, M.ED, M.PHIL (EDN), M.PHIL (ZOO), NET, PH.D (EDN) ASST. PROFESSOR, LOYOLA COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, CHENNAI - 34
  • 2. WHAT IS A EXCRETION? • Excretion is defined as the process of discharging waste matter from an organism. Every organism has metabolic waste generated in its body. • The process of elimination of such waste from the organism is called excretion. • In humans and animals, this is generally carried out by the skin, kidney, and lungs 6/14/2021 DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 2
  • 3. SKIN •Outer most covering of the body •15%of adult’s human weight •Temperature - 37° Celsius •Sweat glands contains small amounts of water and other chemicals such as Ammonia, Urea, Lactic acid and salts (Sodium Chloride) 6/14/2021 DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 3
  • 4. KIDNEY LOCATION IN OUR BODY… • There are two kidneys, each about the size of a fist, located on either side of the spine at the lowest level of the rib cage. Each kidney contains up to a million functioning units called nephrons. A nephron consists of a filtering unit of tiny blood vessels called a glomerulus attached to a tubule. 6/14/2021 DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 4
  • 5. KIDNEYS •Bean shaped organ •Reddish brown in color •It lies on either side on vertebral column in the abdominal cavity •Right kidney is placed lower than left •Each is 11cm thick, 5.5cm wide and 2.5 cm thick. 6/14/2021 DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 5
  • 6. KIDNEY (INTERNAL) •Outer darker cortex region •Inner lighter medulla region •Contains uriniferous tubules •Medulla-conical masses called medullary/renal pyramids •Hilum-inner blood vessels and nerves enter in and urine leaves out. 6/14/2021 DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 6
  • 7. HOW IS WASTE REMOVED FROM OUR BODY? • After the body has taken what it needs, from the food, the waste is sent to the blood. • The kidneys filter out the waste products and excess fluids from the body and dispose of them in the form of urine, via the bladder. • The clean blood flows back to the other parts of the body. 6/14/2021 DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 7
  • 8. URETERS • Thin muscular tubes emerging out from hilum • Urine enters from the renal pelvis to ureter by peristaltic movements of its walls • Ureters carry urine from kidney to urinary bladder. 6/14/2021 DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 8
  • 9. URINARY BLADDER •Sac like structure •Lies at the pelvic cavity of the abdomen •Stores urine temporarily 6/14/2021 DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 9
  • 10. URETHRA •Membranous tube which conducts urine to the exterior. •Urethra is closed by urethral sphincters •Opens only during at the time of micturition 6/14/2021 DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 10
  • 11. FUNCTIONS OF KIDNEY •Maintains the fluid and electrolyte balance in body •Regulate acid base balance of blood •Maintain osmotic pressure in blood and tissues •Helps to retain the plasma constituents like glucose and amino acids 6/14/2021 DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 11
  • 12. CONTD., • Maintaining overall fluid balance. • Regulating and filtering minerals from blood. • Filtering waste materials from food, medications, and toxic substances. • Creating hormones that help produce red blood cells, promote bone health, and regulate blood pressure 6/14/2021 DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 12
  • 13. NEPHRON •Structural and functional unit of kidney •Consists of Malpighian corpuscle or renal tubule •Cup shaped structure- Bowman’s capsule •Bunch of capillaries called Glomerulus which enter through afferent arterioles and leaves out through efferent arterioles 6/14/2021 DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 13
  • 14. 3 MAJOR REGIONS OF NEPHRON •Proximal convoluted tubule •Loop of Henle •Distal convoluted tubule- collecting tubule 6/14/2021 DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 14
  • 15. MECHANISM Glomerular filtration •Filtration takes with filtration of blood through epithelial walls which is known as glomerular filtrate •Both essential and non essential substances present in blood are filtered 6/14/2021 DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 15
  • 16. TUBULAR REABSORPTION Selective reabsorption •Substances such as glucose, amino acids, vitamins, sodium, potassium bicarbonate and water are reabsorbed into the blood by process of selective reabsorption 6/14/2021 DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 16
  • 17. TUBULAR SECRETION • Substances such as H+ ions or K+ ions are secreted into the tubule • Filtrate is known as urine which is hypertonic in man • Then it passes into collecting ducts to the pelvis  ureter  urinary bladder  urethra • Healthy person secretes one or two liters of urine per day. 6/14/2021 DR. C. BEULAH JAYARANI 17
