How it Works:

The lungs get rid of carbon dioxide and water when you exhale. Skin also gets rid of water, salt, and other wastes. These wastes leave the body as sweat. Kidneys get rid of extra water, salt, and other wastes in the blood. They put pressure on the waste to filter it. The waste leaves the body as urine.

 

What Body Parts are Included:

The body parts that are included are: lungs, sweat glands, liver, kidneys, skin, pores, and nerves.

 

What System Needs to Work Properly:

The “Excretory” System needs lots of rest, at least 1 working kidney, and a proper diet.

 

Interesting Fact:

Every day 440 gallons of blood flow through your kidneys!

 

How System Prevents Diseases:

Sweating cools you down and keeps you healthy.
