In humans, two kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra forms the excretory system.

The removal of wastes substances present in the blood takes place in two kidneys. The waste dissolved in blood are removed as urine goes into the urinary bladder through tube like ureters. A muscular tube is attached with ureters. It is called urethra. Urethra opens outside the body through a pore which is called urinary opening.
