Primarily, the colon, kidneys (food digestion) and the lungs (respiration).
Explanation:
The colon is the final stage in the digestive process, which recovers liquid which is then processed by the kidneys. The kidneys do the actual separation/concentration of waste fluids for excretion.
The colon also collects and expels any gaseous wastes and by-products from the digestion process. The lungs are also a key organ for the removal of waste gas products from respiration.
