The excretory system is vital for maintaining homeostasis in the body. It includes the inferior vena cava, which receives blood from the lower limbs and abdomen, emptying into the heart's right atrium. The abdominal aorta, branching from the descending aorta, plays a crucial role in blood circulation. Key organs like the right and left kidneys help regulate salt, water content, core temperature, blood pressure, and blood volume. The ureters transport waste from the kidneys to the bladder, which stores liquid waste. The urethra facilitates the excretion of waste from the body.

Right and Left Kidney Function- helps maintain the salt content, water content, core temperature, blood pressure, and blood volume
Ureter Function- Cares waste products from the kidney to the urinary bladder
Urinary bladder Function- storage of liquid waste( the bladder looks like a funnel)
Urethraand the urethral sphincter Urethral sphincter- a spherical muscle that constricts the urethra Urethra function- carry’s liquid waste out of the body
