Special | 28m 47sVideo has Closed Captions
A complex set of glands, organs, and processes help remove waste materials from our bodies
Your body has a great way to get rid of the things it doesn't need: poop, urine, vomit, farts, tears, snot, sweat, even the carbon dioxide you exhale. Why does your body get rid of all this stuff? What can you tell about your health based on your body waste? Pediatricians Dr. Heather Owens and Dr. Naya Antink answer students’ questions about body wastes.
Science Trek is a local public television program presented by IdahoPTV
