There are several other names used when referring to nephridia. Some of these include metanephridium, protonephridia, and metanephridia. It is basically an invertebrate organ that performs similar functions as the kidney.
In an earthworm, nephridia occur in all body segments except the first three segments. Integumentary nephridia are V-shaped and lack nephrostomes.
The water and nutrients are reabsorbed from the nephridia into the blood vessels surrounding the nephridia. This process helps to conserve essential substances and maintain the balance of fluids and solutes in the body.
An annelid excretes solid waste through its anus. However, metabolic wastes are excreted by its nephridia, a pair of organs.
Nephridia remove metabolic wastes, such as nitrogenous compounds (e.g., ammonia), from the body by filtering them from the coelomic fluid and releasing them outside the body.
NEPHRIDIA:- In earthworm excretion occurs through nephridium. The excretory system in earth worm is closely associated with its closed circulatory system. Each segment of earthworm consists of a pair of nephridia or in some species cluster of nephridium. NEPHRoSTOME:- The colemic fluid or body fluid enters the nepridium through a membrane which is cilliated called nephrdiostome. NEPHRIDIOPORE:- The body fluid after reabsorption from the nephridia opens into a large bladder which opens to exterior through nephridiopore. Ammonia and water are waste products excreted by nephridia while CO2 is excreted through general body surface.

nephridia
An annelid excretes solid waste through its anus. However, metabolic wastes are excreted by its nephridia, a pair of organs.
The phylum Annelida includes worms that excrete waste through structures called nephridia. Nephridia are tubular structures that filter waste from the coelomic fluid and release it outside the body through pores called nephridiopores.

An earthworm's excretory system contains pairs of integumentary, septal, and pharyngeal nephridia. Each nephridia is located in a different segment of the body.
The excretory system of a worm is comprised of three pairs nephridia. Each type of nephridia, the integumentary, septal, and pharyngeal, is located in a different segment.
