"Waste can be returned from the blood stream to the intestines or released through pores on the skin."

Reason: Metabolism produces wastes (CO2, urea, bilirubin, etc.) that are carried in the blood and excreted by lungs, kidneys, skin (sweat), or secreted into bile and passed into the intestines for elimination. Digestion also eliminates undigested material as feces.
