Detailed explanation-1: -Hemolymph can function as a hydraulic fluid, for example, in the expansion of a newly molted butterfly’s wings and serves important roles in the immune system and in transport of hormones, nutrients, and metabolites.

Detailed explanation-2: -Haemolymph is insect blood and is the fluid that fills the haemoceol. Haemolymph transfers nutrients from the insect gut to the organs, takes away waste and also transmits hormones.

Detailed explanation-3: -The major difference between insect blood and the blood of vertebrates, including humans, is that vertebrate blood contains red blood cells. Insects and other invertebrates, on the other hand, have what is called hemolympha heterogeneous fluid that courses through their bodies, bathing all the internal tissues.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hemolymph, or haemolymph, is a fluid, analogous to the blood in vertebrates, that circulates in the interior of the arthropod (invertebrate) body, remaining in direct contact with the animal’s tissues.
