Some species have closed brood pouches, the contents of which the parthogenetic female strongly regulates at about the same concentration as her own hemolymph. |
Injection of bacteria had no influence on hemocyanin or hemolymph protein concentrations when compared to saline injection. |
The researchers need to gather thousands of the insects to get just a few milliliters of the insect's blood, called hemolymph, which is the green liquid in the vial. |
To get enough of the protein, the researchers will have to collect thousands of the bugs at a rate of 1 microliter of hemolymph per insect. |
The cationic component of the hemolymph is frequently replaced by potassium and free amino acids such as glutamate, proline, lysine and glycine. |
The blood, or hemolymph, is pumped to the head through an aorta and to the gills and locomotor appendages through lateral and ventral arteries. |
