what is nephridia and malpighian tubules?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The main difference between nephridia and malpighian tubules is that the nephridia are the excretory organs of worms, producing urine whereas malpighian tubules are the excretory organs of insects, producing uric acid. Furthermore, nephridia occur in the body cavity while Malpighian tubules line the gut
Answer:
Nephridia of Worms
They are similar to flame cells in that they have tubules with cilia and function like a kidney to remove wastes, but they often open to the exterior of the organism. The ciliated tubules filter fluid from the body cavity and carry waste, including excess ions, through openings called nephrostomes.
Malpighian tubules are slender tubes normally found in the posterior regions of arthropod alimentary canals. Each tubule consists of a single layer of cells that is closed off at the distal end with the proximal end joining the alimentary canal at the junction between the midgut and hindgut.
