The key takeaways are that the excretory system eliminates metabolic wastes from the body through a pair of kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder and urethra. Excretion is the removal of these wastes.

Excretion is the process where the body eliminates metabolic wastes through the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder and urethra. The kidneys filter wastes from the blood to form urine which is then stored in the bladder and released through the urethra.

The main components of the excretory system are a pair of kidneys, a pair of ureters, a urinary bladder, and a urethra. The kidneys filter wastes from the blood to form urine which then travels through the ureters to the bladder for storage.
