The excretory system of the turtle is responsible for removing harmful wastes from the turtle's body and blood. The kidney of the turtle performs the blood filtering process and the wastes are then sent to the bladder as urine. In sea turtles the kidneys are also aided by the salt gland to get rid of the excess salt in the sea water (Prange and Greenwald 1980). The bladder is the storage place of the urine. From the bladder the urine goes to the cloaca which is where urine leaves the body. The cloaca is also used to take in oxygen and other nutrients in sea turtles when they reach critical levels. http://www.bio.davidson.edu/Courses/anphys/2000/Pleasants/reprexe.htm :D
