Elimination
The act of expulsion or of extrusion, especially of drug expulsion from the body.
This is the complete removal of faeces or complete removal or destruction of something.
Through excretion organisms control osmotic pressure — the balance between inorganic ions and water — and maintain acid - base balance .
Faeces are produced in the large intestine. It is yellowish brown semi solid and is sent out through the anus. Control of defecation is by behavioral adjustments. Usually the rectum is empty.
Contents in the sigmoid colon are forced in to the rectum by mass movement. In the rectum, the nerve endings in the walls are stimulated by stretch.
In infants defecation occurs by reflex action (involuntary). In response to distention of the rectum by feces, the nerve endings in the walls are stimulated, and the anal sphincter opens, defecation takes place. But in adults it is under voluntary control.
Brain can inhibit the reflex until such time, as it is convenient to defecate.
Excretion is the way in which animals rid themselves of waste products and of the nitrogenous by - products of metabolism.
They are the kidneys, lungs and skin. Lungs help to remove carbon dioxide from the body and the skin removes sweat by evaporation.
Nitrogenous wastes are excreted from the body and excretion is the removal of waste produced resulting from the metabolism in the body.
Many toxic waste products are formed during metabolism. If not excreted, it is difficult to maintain the chemical composition within the body and for the metabolic process to take place.
The waste products that are excreted from the body are ammonia, urea, uric acid, bile pigments and carbon dioxide. Removal of nitrogenous waste is termed as nitrogenous excretion.
Osmoregulation is the maintenance of a constant osmotic pressure within the body by regulating the amount of water and ion concentration including the temperature regulating in the body.
It is important to regulate ions like sodium ions, potassium ions, calcium ions and chloride ions. Nitrogenous wastes are formed by the breakdown of proteins, nucleic acids and excess amino acids.
is derived from NH2 formed during protein metabolism. Ammonia is extremely toxic.
Therefore, it has to be removed from the body or otherwise converted to urea or uric acids, which are not harmful.
The exact nature of the excretory product is determined by the house or home of the animal, the amount of water available for the animal, the degree of water regulation loss, presence or absence of certain enzymes. The degree of there hotness and there coldness.
Protozoans and coelenterates have no excretory organs. Flat worms have flame cell
.
Annelids have metanephridia. Insects and some arthropods have malpighian corpuscles.
Crustaceans have green gland and maxillary glands. Vertebrates have kidneys.
What is the difference between Excretion and Elimintion?
• Excretion involves only in the removal of metabolic waste from the body, whereas elimination is involved in removal of waste and indigestible food material from the body.
• Elimination involves removal of indigestible food material from the body but excretion does not involve in the removal of indigestible food material from the body.
• Digestive system involves in the elimination process, but the digestive system does not involve as a main system in the excretion process.
• Excretion can be considered as a method of elimination, but elimination cannot be considered as a method of excretion.
.excretion is the removal of oxygenated blood in the body,but elimination is the removal of de oxygenated blood .
I think for you reading this you should have no what is right from what is wrong about excretion and elimination but i get tell you the simple defination is excretion is the removal of waste metabolic product in the body system and elimination is the removal of faeces.
