Solenocyte
In biology, solenocytes are elongated, flagellated cells commonly found in lower invertebrates, such as flatworms, chordates and several other animal species. In terms of function, solenocytes play a significant role in the excretory systems of their host organism(s). For example, the lancelets, also referred to as amphioxus, utilize solenocytic protonephridia to perform excretion. In addition to excretion, these cells contribute to ion regulation and osmoregulation. With this in mind, solenocytes form subtypes of protonephridium and are often compared to another specialized excretory cell type, i.e., flame cells. Solenocytes have flagella, while flame cells are generally ciliated.
