Summary on Insect Circulatory System
1.
2. The Insect Circulatory System
0 Insects have an open circulatory
system.
0 The hemocoel is filled with
hemolymph that bathes the organs
0 Insects have local pulsatile organs at
the bases of appendages that pump
hemolymph
0 It does not carry oxygen along its
circulation.
3. Insect Circulatory Organs
DORSAL VESSEL
0 principal organ responsible for blood circulation
0 lies along the dorsal midline of the insect body
HEMOCOEL
0 the compartmentalized structure of this cavity is due
to the presence of one or two fibromuscular septa
4. Insect Circulatory Organs
HEART
0 usually closed at its posterior end and bears a number
of valvular openings (ostia)
ALARY MUSCLES
0 fibromuscular innervated structures attached laterally
to the body wall and vary in number from 1-13 pairs
5. Insect Circulatory Organs
HEMOLYMPH
0 Colorless liquid that bathes the insect tissues
0 Only about 10% are hemocytes and the rest of the
hemolymph content is watery plasma
0 Known functions:
- phagocytosis
- coagulation
- encapsulation of foreign objects
- wound healing
7. Insect Circulatory Organs
HEMOLYMPH FUNCTIONS:
0 Lubricant for tissues and internal organs
0 Hydraulic medium (caterpillars, wing expansion, etc.)
0 Transport medium for nutrients, wastes and hormones
0 Storage (amino acids, water, and glycerol)
0 Heat exchange
0 Immune response
8. Circulation
0 When the heart contracts,
the valves of the ostia are
closed by the pressure and
the hemolymph is moved
forward and dumped into
the head area.
0 Alary muscles aid the
contractions of the heart.
9. Circulation
0 The blood circulation is also aided by the presence of
the dorsal and ventral diaphragms, which consists of
sets of muscles that divide the hemocoel into various
sinuses.
