6 Questions
Match the following organs to their roles in the excretory process:
Lungs = Remove carbon dioxide Skin (sweat) = Excrete sweat Liver = Detoxify blood Kidneys = Filter blood to produce urine
Match the following structures with their corresponding descriptions:
Renal artery = Carries blood to the kidneys Ureter = Transports urine from kidney to bladder Urethra = Pathway for urine to exit the body Urinary bladder = Stores urine
Match the labels on the excretory system diagram to their descriptions:
Abdominal aorta = Main artery supplying blood to the abdomen Inferior vena cava = Vein carrying deoxygenated blood from lower body to heart Renal vein = Carries blood away from the kidneys Kidney = Bean-shaped organ filtering blood
Match the following descriptions to the correct organs or structures:
Bean-shaped organs = Kidneys Stores urine = Urinary bladder Transports urine to the bladder = Ureter Pathway for urine exit = Urethra
Match the following organs with the waste products they primarily remove:
Lungs = Carbon dioxide Kidneys = Urea and other toxins Skin (sweat) = Salts and water Liver = Bile pigments
Match the following texts to their content focus:
Chemical reactions in the body = Correct, functioning cells! Wastes = removed = Waste products, outblood = urine in body. Secreted = urethra!! = Pathway for urine to exit the body Abdominal aorta = Main artery of the abdominal region
Study Notes
Main Organs of Excretion
- The four main organs involved in the process of excretion are the lungs, skin, liver, and kidneys.
Structure of the Kidneys
- The kidneys are bean-shaped organs connected by the renal artery and renal vein.
Urinary System
- Urine flows from the kidneys into the urinary bladder through ureters.
- The urinary bladder is a spherical organ located below the kidneys.
- Urine exits the body through the urethra.
Blood Vessels
- The abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava are two key blood vessels in the excretory system.
Functions of the Excretory System
- Waste products are removed from the body through excretion.
- Waste products in the blood are formed into urine in the body.
- Urine is secreted out of the body through the urethra.
This quiz covers the main organs involved in the human excretory system, including their functions and relationships. Learn about the lungs, skin, liver, and kidneys and how they work together to remove waste from the body.
