Chapter 48.2, Problem 1C
Summary Introduction
To give: Examples of animals that excrete each of the principle type of nitrogenous waste.
Introduction: The urinary system is also known as the renal system. It consists of kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The urinary system is important to eliminate nitrogenous waste such as ammonia, urea, and uric acid out of the body. It also regulates the blood volume, blood pressure, and maintenance of the electrolytes.
