Solution

Kidney is the chief excretory organ of the body. It removes urea in the form of urine.

Heart is the pumping organ of the body. It pumps blood to each cell of the body.

Vein, except the pulmonary vein, is a blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from all parts of the body to the heart.

Artery, except the pulmonary artery, is a blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to all parts of the body.

Valves are present in veins. These prevent blood from flowing back.
