The document discusses drug excretion from the body through various routes. It describes the principal organs involved in excretion as the kidneys, lungs, biliary system, intestines, saliva, and milk. Renal excretion through the kidneys is the primary route for water soluble drugs and involves glomerular filtration, tubular secretion, and tubular reabsorption. Other routes include biliary excretion into the feces, pulmonary excretion of volatile substances through the lungs, and excretion into saliva, sweat, and breast milk in small amounts for some drugs. Factors like a drug's molecular size, charge, lipid solubility, and degree of protein binding determine which excretion pathways it undergoes.
