Which of the following systems helps remove metabolic waste products from the body?
A
Skeletal system
B
Excretory system
C
Endocrine system
D
Nervous system
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of each system mentioned in the question: The skeletal system provides structural support, the endocrine system regulates hormones, the nervous system controls communication and coordination, and the excretory system removes waste products.
Recall the primary function of the excretory system: It is responsible for filtering and removing metabolic waste products, such as urea, excess salts, and water, from the body through organs like the kidneys, bladder, and urethra.
Identify the key term 'metabolic waste products' in the question. These are byproducts of cellular metabolism, such as carbon dioxide, urea, and ammonia, which need to be eliminated to maintain homeostasis.
Match the function of the excretory system to the requirement of removing metabolic waste products, confirming it as the correct answer.
Conclude that the excretory system is the system responsible for removing metabolic waste products from the body, as none of the other systems listed perform this function.
