Which of the following cells in earthworm play a role similar to liver in vertebrates?

  • Amoebocytes

  • Mucocytes

  • Chloragogen cells

  • Epidermal cells


C.

Chloragogen cells

Chlorogogen cells are excretory in function. The chlorogogen cells take up excretory matter from the blood capillaries of the gut and from the coelomic fluid of the coelom. They also store glycogen and fat. So, these cells are analogous to the liver of vertebrates.
