What is a Salt Gland?
Practice Version
Salt Gland:
An organ for excreting excess salts. Salt gland. A salt gland is a specialized organ in some animals that helps remove extra salt from their bodies.
Example:
Imagine trying to remove excess sugar from a cup of tea after you've accidentally added too much. Just like you might use a strainer to separate the sugar grains from the liquid, a salt gland functions to remove excess salts from an animal's body. The salt gland acts like a specialized filter, helping to maintain balance by excreting unwanted salts, similar to how you would strain out sugar to make the tea drinkable again.
