Cement gland seems to be a term also used for sessile organisms such as barnacles that cement themselves to substrate as larva - I can’t figure out if the usage in this way is common enough to add to the Wikipedia page but the first google result refers to gland in ‘’Xenopus’’ frog embryos and other results claim cement glands in crayfish, lobsters and other crustaceans https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8850563/ I don’t know if these glands are cement glands because one article refers to them as tegumental glands (I can’t find the article right now though but here are some - I’m ambivalent about changing the article)

Feel free to add Feralcateater000, I added the current definition related to these worms as it was requested during featured article nomination but I assumed there would be many such cement glands in nature Mattximus (talk) 00:41, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
