| H-shaped cell associated with the excretory system, largest cell in C. elegans. | excretory cell | excretory canal cell | WBbt:0005812 |
| Four processes (canals) of the excretory canal cell each contain a central collecting lumen which feeds to a central lumenal canal in the cell body; the central canal forms a specialized membrane to release fluids into the excretory duct. These five canals form a continuous H-shaped channel which extends almost the full length of the body, generally in contact with the lateral hypodermis and the pseudocoelom. | excretory canal | canal | WBbt:0005775 |
