Explanation
Nephridia are excretory organs of the earthworm which consist of a simple or branched tube formed by the ingrowth of ectoderm with cilia at the inner end. Excretory products diffuse into the nephridium and are wafted to the exterior by ciliary action. Malpighian tubules are the organs that are involved in the excretion of nitrogenous wastes in cockroach. They open into the intestine and selectively extract Uric acid from the blood. The acid, together with water and salts, is deposited into the hindgut and excreted in the faeces.
