Sorry. There's SO much weirdness in evolution that I hadn't thought to tell you even all the bits I happen to know.
Like for instance do you know about kidneys??? They are not the evolutionarily ancient structure I would have assumed. I naively thought that getting rid of metabolic waste would be a super-basic function, but that's land animal thinking. When your blood runs through gills, it's barely even a thing. So most phyla evolved some sort of kidney-like thing independently.
