Transport and storage
Digested nutrients, hormones and gases (chironomid larva) were transported with the help
of haemolymph. It also removes the waste materials to the excretory organs. Water and raw
materials required for histogenesis is stored in haemolymph.
4.
Protection
Protection helps in phagocytocis, encapsulation, detoxification, coagulation, and wound
healing. Non celluar component like
lysozymes
also kill the invading bacteria.
5.
Heat transfer
Haemolymph through its movement in the circulatory system regulate the body heat
(Thermoregulation)
6.
Maintenance of osmotic pressure
Ions, amino acids and organic acids present in the haemolymph helps in maintaining
osmotic pressure required for normal physiological functions.
