The Excretory System helps to maintain homeostasis by eliminating the unnecessary wastes produced in the body. The Excretory System must interact with other systems of the body to eliminate wastes, and keep the body clean.
Because of the necessary processes that need to be performed by the excretory system in the body, it needs to work together with both the digestive system, and the vascular system. The Digestive System is one of the excretory system's main contributors. It delivers undigested food particles, cellular waste and metallic byproducts to the excretory system to be eliminated. The vascular system also helps the excretory system in performing mandatory body functions. Kidneys are main components of the excretory system. As blood and other liquids pass through them, the organs block harmful chemicals from the passing fluids, and pass the blocked wastes to other organs of the excretory system.
