Hemolymph fills all of the interior (the hemocoel) of the animal's body and surrounds all cells. It contains hemocyanin, a copper-based protein that turns blue when oxygenated, instead of the iron-based hemoglobin in red blood cells found in vertebrates, giving hemolymph a blue-green color rather than the red color of vertebrate blood. When not ...
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]
Larvae of all species in genus Arachnocampa use modified and swollen Malpighian tubules to produce a blue-green light [7] attracting prey towards mucus-coated trap lines. In insects which feed on plant material containing noxious allelochemicals , Malpighian tubules also serve to rapidly excrete such compounds from the hemolymph.
9Å cryoEM reconstruction of Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). EMDB entry 1]. Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) is a large, multisubunit, oxygen-carrying, metalloprotein that is found in the hemolymph of the giant keyhole limpet, Megathura crenulata, a species of keyhole limpet that lives off the coast of California, from Monterey Bay to Isla Asuncion off Baja California.
In discontinuous gas exchange, however, the insect takes in oxygen while it is active and small amounts of carbon dioxide are released when the insect is at rest. [54] Diffusive ventilation is simply a form of continuous gas exchange that occurs by diffusion rather than physically taking in the oxygen. Some species of insect that are submerged ...
Hematodinium Scientific classification Domain: Eukaryota (unranked): SAR (unranked): Alveolata Phylum: Dinoflagellata Class: Syndiniophyceae Order: Syndiniales Family: Syndiniaceae Genus: Hematodinium Chatton & Poisson, 1930 Species Hematodinium perezi Hematodinium is a genus of dinoflagellates.

In vertebrates, the circulatory system is a system of organs that includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood which is circulated throughout the body. [1] [2] It includes the cardiovascular system, or vascular system, that consists of the heart and blood vessels (from Greek kardia meaning heart, and Latin vascula meaning vessels).
Color charge is a property of quarks and gluons that is related to the particles' strong interactions in the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Like electric charge, it determines how quarks and gluons interact through the strong force; however, rather than there being only positive and negative charges, there are three "charges", commonly called red, green, and blue.
