Nephridium: Metanephridia, Protonephridia & Overview

The nephridium (pl.: nephridia) is an invertebrate organ, found in pairs and performing a function similar to the vertebrate kidneys (which originated from the chordate nephridia). Nephridia remove metabolic wastes from an animal's body and come in two basic categories: metanephridia and protonephridia. In some cases, nephridia may fuse or become…
