Apart from kidneys, liver and skin also help in elimination of nitrogenous excretion. Liver, the largest gland in our body secretes bile containing substances like bilirubin, biliverdin, cholesterol, degraded steroid hormones, vitamins and drugs. Formation of urea also takes place in liver. Most of these substances eliminate through digestive wastes. The sweat and oil glands in the skin also eliminate substances through their secretions, e.g. sweat produced by the sweat glands comprises water, NaCl, small amounts of urea, lactic acid etc. Similarly, oil glands in the skin eliminate certain sterols, hydrocarbons and waxes. Lungs, however, do not excrete nitrogenous wastes, but remove large amounts of carbon dioxide and significant amounts of water every day.
