Question
Chapter 37.6, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The benefit of secreting substances into the tubule.
Introduction:
An excretory system includes all of the tissues and organs of an animal that function to remove soluble wastes such as Carbon dioxide and nitrogenous wastes from the body and to regulate ion and water balance. Most excretory organs have tubular structures lined with epithelial cells capable of actively transporting ions and other substances through their membranes. Through these pipes, the waste is secreted from the body.
