Homonym: Elimination (Removal)
Elimination is the biological process through which organisms remove waste products from their bodies. This process is essential for maintaining homeostasis, as it helps regulate the internal environment by getting rid of substances that could be harmful if accumulated. In humans, elimination primarily occurs through the digestive system and urinary system.
In the digestive system, waste is expelled as feces after nutrients are absorbed from food. Meanwhile, the urinary system filters blood to produce urine, which contains excess salts, water, and metabolic waste. Both systems work together to ensure the body remains healthy and balanced.
