Question

What organs in your body carry out a similar function as the green glands?

Answer 1

The green tissue in the body cavity of the crayfish, lobster, or crab (called tomalley to connoisseurs) found below and rear of the base of the antennae, performs the same function as the pancreas and liver in humans (or the hepatopancreas in some other arthropods). Some sources say 'kidneys' but because the green organ is ducted into the digestive system (like the bile duct from the liver in humans) and because the gills are the primary excretory site for the higly toxic ammonia they produce as part of their nitrogen metabolism, that position might need further substantiation.

Answer 2

Kidney, skin, lungs

Step-by-step explanation:

Green gland is one of a pair of excretory organs in some crustaceans (crayfish, prawns) that open at the base of the larger antenna. They are also called antennal glands. They function as osmoregulatory glands where fluid is filtered from the blood into the end sac and passes through a tubular labyrinth, where ions are reabsorbed to produce a hypotonic urine that is excreted via the bladder from the renal tubules.

As humans, the kidneys are the main osmoregulatory organs that perform excretory function. They function to filter blood and maintain the dissolved ion concentration of body fluids. Although the kidneys are the major osmoregulatory organ, the skin and lungs also play a role in the osmoregulatory process.

These excretory function makes the green glands found in specific crustaceans similar to the kidneys in humans.
