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. It functions to remove unnecessary hormones, ions, toxins and wastes. The word literally means "after the nephridium", with the nephridium functioning as a worm equivalent to the human kidneys.
