  Fine Structure of the Caenorhabditis elegans Secretory-Excretory System
(3) The pore cell encloses the terminal one-third of the duct and underlies the excretory pore at the ventral surface of the animal.
This portion of the excretory gland is bound to the duct cell (D) and excretory cell (E) by a complex tight junction (tj).
The secretory-excretory junction, centered at the anterior edge of the excretory cell body, is the point at which the gland and the excretory cell converge with the duct cell at the origin of the excretory duct.

The excretory canal cell functions in part as a kidney, excreting saline fluid via the duct and pore in order to maintain the animal's salt balance (osmoregulation) and probably to remove metabolites (Nelson and Riddle, 1984; Buechner et al., 1999).
It should be noted that in the embryo, G1 cell functions as the excretory pore cell (=excretory socket cell), and in L1 larva, G2 becomes the pore cell.
The excretory duct is located anteriorly to the excretory cell and opens to outside via the excretory pore at the ventral side of the animal.

The excretory cell is a large ectodermal cell located beneath the posterior pharyngeal bulb, and it extends tube-like canals dorsally on both sides during embryogenesis (Hedgecock et al., 1987).
The remaining growth occurs along the length of the canal, as the hypodermal cells, to which the canal is connected by gap junctions, expand.
GFP fluorescence was observed in the excretory canal (Figure 4A), consistent with the role this protein plays in the formation of canal structure.

"The Excretory System" is a chapter of the On-Line Biology Book, provided by Dr MJ Farabee of the Estrella Mountain Community College, Arizona, USA.
The Excretory System chapter contains sections on regulation of extracellular fluids, nitrogen wastes, water and salt balance, excretory system functions, invertebrate excretory organs, vertebrates have paired kidneys, the human excretory system, kidney function, hormone control of water and salt, and disruption of kidney function.
This chapter is aimed at university students beginning their studies in biological sciences, and is designed to serve as an introduction to more advanced courses.
