Explanation Malpighian tubules in insects are used for the excretion of nitrogenous products and other waste metabolites. They also secrete fluids within the posterior intestine, which are later reabsorbed there, and certain substances are passed into the hemolymph. The malpighian tubules mainly act as the excretory and osmoregulatory system of the insects. Final answer Malpighian tubules are usually found in the posterior region of the arthropods, where they work with glands in the rectum for excreting waste and also helps in regulating the osmotic balance.
