The easiest example: the uterus shrinks to its normal size after a while, but how does the body get rid of the extra tissue? How does it get metabolized? Through the kidneys, liver, guts…?

Not to make light of your question but that’s like asking what happens to the extra tissue after you un-flex your bicep. The baby, amniotic fluid, and the placenta are the *extra* tissue. The uterus itself is basically muscle, and specialized cells that collectively help the uterus do what it does and these cells either slough off monthly or are part of the placenta/after birth. All *extra* cells come out of the vagina ether way.
