The coxal gland (sometimes green gland) is a gland in some arthropods for collecting and excreting urine. A gland is an organ in an animal's body that synthesizes a substance for release such as Hormones or Breast milk, often into the Bloodstream Arthropods are Animals belonging to the Phylum Arthropoda (from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, " Joint " Urine is a liquid waste product of the body secreted by the Kidneys by a process of filtration from Blood and Excreted through the Urethra. The excretion can take place at the base (coxa) of the legs or, in some higher crustaceans, of the antennae or maxillae (then called antennal glands or maxillary glands, respectively). Structure of crustaceans As Arthropods crustaceans have a stiff Exoskeleton, which must be shed to allow the animal to grow ( Ecdysis or molting Antennae (singular antenna) are paired Appendages connected to the front-most segments of Arthropods In Crustaceans they are This article is about the Mammal maxilla For Arthropod maxillae see Mouthparts; for Insect maxillae in particular see Insect mouthparts
The green gland is divided into three parts namely the end sac, the labyrinth, and the bladder. Together they help in excretion of nitrogenous waste products in much the same manner as the vertebrate kidney does.
