[edit] Feces NEVER passes through the excretory system!

Anyone who has taken high school biology should know that feces is a product of the digestive system, not the excretory system. Someone please fix this article for accuracy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 154.20.154.172 (talk) 07:21, 16 January 2007 (UTC).

Im deleting faeces from the list as suggested above. This is an example of egestion, not excretion.Odmrob 19:18, 28 January 2007 (UTC)</nowiki>

I though that the large intestine was part of the digestive system?

[edit] Yeah but the kidney is part of the excretory system so i could argue both sides!

I am learning that the urinary system is not only closely related, but part of the excretory system!

'Excretory system' is a functional definition not nomenclature Markjohndaley 14:49, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Merge

In various sources such as Encyclopedia Britannica, the excretory and urinary systems are indeed the same system. If a merge follows, the name should be changed to Excretory system as this is the proper name. --I Are Scientists 19:31, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

The former name of the Urinary system is excretory, i agree but changing the name of excretory to urinary system made it distinct from the rest of our body system that also excretes waste like the integumentary system and digestive system, sometimes, calling the urinary system made our students confused as with the function of the urinary system, they are inquiring that elimination of waste is a sole funtion of this system. =ton2n17=

This article should not be moved into the excretory system. Many of the major body systems deal with excretory functions, but it really isn't a separate system. Mseliw 10:34, 29 April 2007

As I have posted in the Urinary system I absolutely dispute the merge. This topic is a medical one and, for instance, the 33rd edition of Gray's Anatomy calls it the Urogenital system (which would be a better name if a change was warranted). Bern and Levy, Physiology 5th edition, refers to the urinary tract (pg 630). Excretory system is an ambiguous term.

Aping Brittanica is not what writing Wiki articles is about. It is about proper research and referencing. As the Various sources you have mentioned only that one. Don't make me quote every single medical text I have! Markjohndaley 14:45, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

This article should stay seperate but have a link in the system to put them together. But each system is connected.User:NAVYCHAPPY 16:02, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I say no merger, the urinary system is a major organ system and has little to do with feces from the digestive track. These are two separate topics and the articles should remain separate. Earthdirt (talk) 19:34, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Same and Different

It;s really confusing because ther is ONLY 11 Systems.....but we should learn that the Urinary system should have it's own article in Wikipedia ////// Ayyah tubby (talk) 14:24, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Dudes the excretory system is the urinary system. Also feces is part of the digestive system. This page is inaccurate!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drei242 (talk • contribs) 16:09, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Don't worry guys

Drei242 is on the job i have already taken out most f the unneeded areas and the false areas. I understand that feces, bile, and the large intestine have nothing to do with the excretory system so ill delete these parts. Finally we can fix this page. I wonder who made this inaccurate page?

[edit] Merge? Not?

I don't know... but since the urinary system is part of the excretory system, it could be under 'excretory system'... could. I disagree. It shouldn't be merged. Miley1006 (talk) 01:49, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
