Chapter 37.6, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The insects remove soluble wastes by filtration, secretion or both.
Introduction:
Invertebrates use a variety of mechanisms to remove wastes from their body fluids. Annelids have a series of tubular filtration structures called metanephridia in each segment of the body and consist of a tubular network starting with a funnel-like structure called a nephrostome.
