Ok so as far as the skin goes, it helps regulate our body temperature, it eliminates wastes, it gathers information about our environment, and it also produces vitamin D. The kidneys remove urea (which is a chemical that comes from the beakdown of proteins) and other wastes from the blood but keep materials that the body needs. The lungs are air-breathing vertebrates that exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide with our blood. The liver plays a role in many body processes, such as producing bile for the digestive system.

For words that some of you might not know, according to my science book since I'm in 8th grade, the definition of kidney is "a major organ of the excretory system; removes urea and other wastes from the blood". The definition of urea is "a chemical that comes from the breakdown of proteins". The definition of bile is "a substance produced by the live that breaks up fat particles". And finally, the definition of digestive system is "the process by which your body breaks down food into small nutrient molecules".
