The digestive system (mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver and pancreas) breaks food down and absorbs nutrients into the blood, while the excretory system (kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra, with help from the liver and large intestine) removes waste products and extra water from the blood. Together they keep the body healthy by providing needed nutrients, converting and detoxifying waste (the liver turns ammonia into urea), and eliminating solid and liquid wastes so harmful substances and excess materials do not build up.
