The Excretory System

 

The Excretory System, for the purposes of this site, includes the Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder.

What are the functions of the excretory system?

Regulation - They maintain fluid, electrolyte, & acid-base balance

Hormone Production -  The kidneys also produce renin, active vitamin D3 and erythropoietin.

And of course, Excretion - The Excretory System removes various nitrogenous metabolic products in the urine, like creatinine.
