Solution

Excretory system in animals:

  1. The excretory system is a passive biological mechanism that eliminates excess, superfluous elements from an organism's bodily fluids in order to preserve internal chemical balance and protect the body from injury.
  2. The excretory system only includes the organs that are exclusively needed for excretion.
  3. Kidneys, green glands, Malpighian tubules, nephridia, and protonephridia are examples of animal excretory organs.
