An excretory glandis what the metanephridium of the worm is.Specifically, the body part in question consists of a funnel which links the worm's interior with its exterior.

What is the function of an earthworms metanephridium?

In earthworm the organs of excretion are the nephridia. Each nephridium is a long tube which opens at one end in to the body cavity by a ciliated funnel, the nephrostome and at the other end to the outside body by an opening, the nephridiophore in the skin. the nephrostome of a nephridium in a segment lies in the segment next in front of it. The nitrogenous wastes, such as ammonia and urea are collected by nephrostome, dropped into the lumen of the nephridium which contracts rhythmically pushing the waste products outside the body for removal through the nephridiophore in the skin.


What is another name for nephridia?

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.


What Phylum use protonephridia?

A metanephridium (pl. metanephridia) is a type of excretory gland or nephridium found in many types of invertebrates such as annelids, arthropods and molluscs. It typically consists of a ciliated funnel opening into the body cavity or coelom connected to a duct which may be variously glandularized, folded or expanded (vesiculate) and which typically opens to the organism's exterior. These ciliated tubules pump water carrying surplus ions, metabolic waste, toxins from food, and useless hormones out of the organism through openings known as nephrostomes. This waste is passed out of the body at the nephridiopore. The primary urine produced by filtration of blood (or a similar functioning component) are modified into secondary urine through selective reabsorption by the cells lining the metanephridium. In many earthworms the nephridial ducts open into the digestive tract instead, a condition known as enteronephry.
