maxillary gland

The role of the maxillary glands is primarily osmoregulatory.

This species has a large set of maxillary glands or sinuses situated just in front of its eyes.

The excretory organs of barnacles are maxillary glands.

The excretory organs are the paired maxillary glands, located on the segment of the second maxilla.

Their excretory system consists of maxillary glands.

The second maxillae also have a metameric pore, which is the opening of the maxillary gland and maxillary nephridium homologous to those of millipedes.

A pair of maxillary glands, also called nephridial organs, involved in osmoregulation and excreting nitrogenous waste open up to the gnathochilarium and wastes are passed entirely through the digestive tract before being evacuated.
