Q

What are the three mechanisms used by all excretory structures to retain needed compounds and excrete unneeded ones?

A
  1. filtration/osmotic pressure-forces body fluids into es via force or osmotic pressure (pulls fluids into es with high solute concentration.
  2. reabsorption/ secretion- active transport of needed components back into body from es
  3. Excretion- removal of unwanted compounds from body.
