Salt glands, also known as exocrine glands, are specialized organs found in certain organisms that assist in the regulation of internal salt concentrations. These glands play a crucial role in osmoregulation, particularly in marine animals that need to expel excess salt from their bodies. While the term "salt glands" is commonly used, there are alternative synonyms to describe these organs. They may be referred to as salt-excreting glands, salt-secreting organs, or even osmoregulatory glands. These terms highlight the function and significance of these glands in maintaining the proper balance of salt within the organisms, enabling them to thrive in their respective environments.
