(19) The characteristic prolonged plateau potential of the VWC was frequently associated with the egestion motor program but never with the ingestion motor program or its characteristic components.
(20) But all of those papers have a basic assumption that the capacity of the environment is so large that the change of toxicants in the environment that comes from uptake and egestion by the organisms can be neglected.
Excrete
Definition:
(v. t.) To separate and throw off; to excrete urine.
