Excretory System in Animals: Structure, Function, and Mechanism of Kidney and Nephron

Introduction to the Excretory System: The human excretory system plays a vital function in preserving general health by facilitating the body’s waste disposal. This system consists of vital organs like the kidneys, bladder, and intestines, each of which makes a distinct contribution to the removal of waste. It closely cooperates with the digestive system, which
