  2. Hemolymph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolymph

    Hemolymph, or haemolymph, is a fluid, analogous to the blood in vertebrates, that circulates in the interior of the arthropod (invertebrate) body, remaining in direct contact with the animal's tissues. It is composed of a fluid plasma in which hemolymph cells called hemocytes are suspended. In addition to hemocytes, the plasma also contains ...

  3. Hemocyanin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemocyanin

    Unlike the hemoglobin in red blood cells found in vertebrates, hemocyanins are not confined in blood cells, but are instead suspended directly in the hemolymph. Oxygenation causes a color change between the colorless Cu(I) deoxygenated form and the blue Cu(II) oxygenated form. [1]

  4. Circulatory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulatory_system

    In arthropods, the open circulatory system is a system in which a fluid in a cavity called the hemocoel bathes the organs directly with oxygen and nutrients, with there being no distinction between blood and interstitial fluid; this combined fluid is called hemolymph or haemolymph. [28]

  5. Coagulin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulin

    Fibrin and coagulin are analogous to each other. Similarities between mammalian blood coagulation and hemolymph coagulation include gel formation, TGase, and serve as a part of wound healing. [7] However, the clot formed in hemolymph coagulation is softer than the mammalian fibrin clot. [5] [7]

  6. Blood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood

    In invertebrates, a body fluid analogous to blood called hemolymph is found, the main difference being that hemolymph is not contained in a closed circulatory system. Hemolymph may function to carry oxygen, although hemoglobin is not necessarily used. Crustaceans and mollusks use hemocyanin instead of hemoglobin. [55]

    The difference with plasma donation is that the blood goes through a machine that collects only the plasma and sends the red and white blood cells and platelets back to the donor in a saline solution.

  8. Insect physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_physiology

    The main function of insect blood, hemolymph, is that of transport and it bathes the insect's body organs. Making up usually less than 25% of an insect's body weight, it transports hormones, nutrients and wastes and has a role in osmoregulation, temperature control, immunity, storage (water, carbohydrates and fats) and skeletal function.

    One’s biological age, which measures the body’s physiological state, may help predict who is at risk for developing colon polyps, a known risk factor for colorectal cancer.
