Emergence definition

The excretory system is a system of organs and structures that remove waste and excess substances from the body, which is a complex arrangement of interrelated parts that work together over time, building upon the understanding of structure and form, where particles occupy space and interact with energy, exhibiting patterns that govern its transformations and binding, and shape or arrangement that matter takes, as the particles that make up matter interact and transform in space.
