Question

Explain the role of liver in excretion.

✓

Answer

In the liver, urea is formed during the ornithine cycle and is sent to the kidneys for elimination through the blood stream. It also serves to excrete cholesterol, bile pigments, vitamins and drugs. These substances are secreted in the bile and are taken to the intestine. Then they are eliminated along with faeces.
