They work together to remove different types of wastes and keep the internal environment stable.

- Respiratory system removes gaseous wastes (mainly CO2) and helps control blood pH quickly by changing breathing rate.
- Excretory system (mainly kidneys) removes soluble metabolic wastes (urea, excess salts, water) and provides slower, long-term pH and electrolyte balance by adjusting bicarbonate and H+ excretion.
- Together they maintain acid–base balance, fluid volume, and overall homeostasis (lungs give fast respiratory compensation; kidneys give slow, lasting correction).
