What is Green Gland. |
| Answer» Green glands, also called as antennal or maxillary glands, help carry out excretory functions in crayfish. These glands act much like\xa0kidneys\xa0in humans and help crayfish remain healthy by eliminating toxic substances and waste products in their urinary and circulatory systems.\xa0In many higher crustaceans the excretory\xa0glands\xa0are located in the head. They are called antennal\xa0glands\xa0or maxillary\xa0glands, depending on whether they open at the base of the antennae or at the maxillae. If the tubule adjacent to the excretory pore is\xa0green, the\xa0gland\xa0is called a\xa0green gland. | |
