metabolic wastes
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.
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.
Invertebrates eliminate waste through structures such as nephridia or Malpighian tubules that filter waste from the blood and release it outside the body. Some invertebrates excrete waste through diffusion across their body surface or gills.
Nephridia are similar to the kidneys in the human body. Both nephridia and kidneys are responsible for filtering waste and maintaining proper fluid balance in the body. They play a crucial role in excreting metabolic waste and regulating ion concentrations.
Nephridia
They remove metabolic wastes from an animal's body.
Nephridia are excretory organs found in some invertebrates that eliminate metabolic waste and excess fluids from the body through openings called nephridiopores. These structures help maintain proper osmoregulation and remove nitrogenous waste products from the body.

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 contains a pair of nephridia in every segment, except for the first three and last one.There are three types of nephridia : integumentary, septal and pharyngeal nephridia. The integumentary nephridia lie attached to the inner side of the body wall in all segments except the first two. The septal nephridia are attached to both sides of the septa behind the 15th segment. The pharyngeal nephridia are attached to 4th, 5th and 6th segment. The nitrogenous wastes are removed by the rhythmic beating of the cilia of the nephridiostomes. The excretory wastes are then finally discharged into the gut.
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.
The function of an earthworm's nephridium is to excrete wastes from the earthworm's body.

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.
