The Skin and Lungs: Hidden Members of the Excretory Team

Your skin removes waste through sweat, not just cools you down.
Sweat carries excess salts, water, and small toxins out.
The lungs exhale carbon dioxide—a waste product of metabolism.
Together, they support the kidneys and liver in detox duties.
Even breathing is part of your body’s waste disposal system.
Every exhale helps maintain your blood’s acid-base balance.
When kidneys are overworked, the lungs can help compensate.
Skin and lungs handle lighter waste, leaving heavy-duty work to kidneys.
The more active you are, the more these organs collaborate.
They’re the silent partners in your body’s waste management network.
