EXCRETORY SYSTEM
The excretory system is very important to your body and only has a few parts. In a similar way to removing solid waste from your body, you must also get rid of fluids. You know the results of the excretory system as urine. Urine is the result of the excretory system balancing the amount of water and salts in your body. We said the system is small. Your kidneys are the core organs involved in the excretory system. Related body parts include the ureters, bladder, and urethra. Once the urine passes through your urethra, that's it, it's out of your body.
ACTIVITY IN CLASS ANNEX 2 ACTIVITY ACCORDING THE ARTICLE. 1. READ THE ARCTICLE IN THE FOLLOWING WEBPAGE: http://www.fi.edu/learn/heart/systems/excretion.html
2. ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ALBUM:
a) What are the main functions of the excretory system? R:/ To collect waste from the body and remove it. b) What are the main organs of the excretory system that eliminate urea, excess water, and other materials from the body? R:/ 2 kidneys, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra c) The other organs of excretion are the lungs, skin, and liver. What roles do they play in eliminating wastes from the body? R:/ The lungs remove carbon dioxide and water, the skin excretes water and chemicals through the sweat glands, and the liver breaks down substances so they can be excreted.

ANNEX 3 HOMEWORK
1. Excretion is the removal of the metabolic wastes of an organism. These wastes must have travelled at one time in the: lungs blood rectum 2. The excretory system consists of: rectum, lungs, skin and kidneys rectum, liver and kidneys lungs, liver, skin and kidneys 3. The wastes excreted from the lungs are: carbon dioxide and excess oxygen carbon dioxide and nitrogen water and carbon dioxide 4. Sweat contains: water, excess salt and ammonia excess water, excess salt, urea and uric acid excess water and salt only 5. The organs responsible for filtering the blood are the: kidneys intestines rectum 6. What name is given to the millions of tiny filtering units that make up each kidney? nephrons tubules filter organs
7. The tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body is the: renal vein urethra ureter 8. Examples of how the body maintains a constant body temperature are: sweating and urination salt and fibre excretion 'goosebumps' and glucose excretion 9. MAKE A DESIGN OF THE EXCRETORY SYSTEM. DO NOT FORGET TO LABEL THEIR MAIN PARTS. 10. MAKE A DESIGN OF THE KIDNEY. DO NOT FORGET TO LABEL THEIR MAIN PARTS.
