Question
Write about the excretory role of the lungs.
Solution
Lungs possess blood capillaries which absorb O2 and pass on CO2 to the alveoli, by the simple process of diffusion, which is finally removed from the body. If retained inside the body, it may prove fatal. So lungs act as excretory organs.
