Solution

The Malpighian tubule system is an excretory and osmoregulatory system found in some insects, myriapods, arachnids, and tardigrades. It is present as a ring of the filamentous structure at the junction of midgut and hindgut. It absorbs solutes, water, and wastes from the surrounding hemolymph. These tubules are found in cockroaches.
