Clitellar region

The number of integumentary nephridia ranges from 200-250 in each segment but in clitellar region, their number is about 2000-2500. So clitellum is called forest of nephridia.

Clitellar segments are called ‘forest of nephridia’ in earthworm because it contains numerous number of nephridia in each segment (about 2000 to 2500).

 hello sis,
                it is present in clitellar segments more clearly it is integumentary nephridia & it is attached to the body wall from 3 to last segment that open on the body surface i.e, it is exonephric. that particular portion contain 2000-2500 nephridia that is why it is known as forest of nephridia.                                                                                       i hpe this helps all the best
