Excretion in Platyhelminthes:

  • The excretory system of Platyhelminthes is made up of excretory tubules that run throughout the body and are connected to the flame cells. 
  • The flame cells are protonephridia. 
  • Each flame cell bears a tuft of cilia that are involved in pushing the waste fluids from the tubules to outside of the body. 
  • Flame cells are also involved in osmoregulation. 
  • Ammonia is the principal nitrogenous waste.
