Difference between solenocytes and flame cells
Answers
Answer:
A flame cell is a specialized excretory cell found in most "lower" freshwater
invertebrates, including Nematode, Platyhelminthes (except the tubellarian order Acoela), flatworms,
rotifers and nemerteans, these are the simplest animals to have a dedicated excretory system. Flame
cells function like a kidney, removing waste materials. Bundles of flame cells are called protonephridia
The function of these cells is to regulate the osmotic pressure of the worm, and maintain it's iconic balance.
Solenocyte In some Annelida, Platyhelminthes, Rotifera, and other invertebrates, a tubular terminal cell
at the blind end of each tubule of a protonephridium (see NEPHRIDIUM). The solenocyte carries a
flagellum which wafts excretory products along the tubule. The walls of the tube are thin and consist of
pillar-like rods. The excretory fluid is thought to be formed by ultra-filtration of body fluids through the
wall
