- Function of Haemolymph in Transport
- Haemolymph: circulating blood-like fluid found in some invertebrates with open circulatory systems.
- Not confined to vessels only
- Bathes the tissues and internal organs directly
- Nutrients eg. digested food substances, hormones diffuse from haemolymph into cells.
- Waste products diffuse out from the cells into the surrounding haemolymph
- Insects - their tubular hearts pump the haemolymph into fluid-filled spaces: haemocoel.
