Excretion and the liver Excretion in mammals Excretion is the removal of potentially harmful or toxic substances from the body. These substances are usually waste materials produced by complex chemical reactions taking place in living cells. Enzymes catalyse the reactions.
Urine, which is produced by the kidneys, contains the by-products of our body's metabolism â salts, toxins, and water â that end up in our blood. The kidneys and urinary tract (which includes the ureters, bladder, and urethra) filter and eliminate these waste substances from our blood. Without the kidneys, waste products and other toxins would soon build up in the blood to dangerous levels. In addition to eliminating wastes, the kidneys and urinary tract also regulate many important body functions.
