The excretory system's key functions include eliminating metabolic wastes (e.g., urea, uric acid) from the blood and regulating osmotic balance (water and electrolyte levels) to maintain homeostasis. Producing waste is done by cells, not the excretory system; circulating fluid is the circulatory system's role.
