The body cavity consists of a haemocoel, but the only place where a true coelom can be found is around the gonad.
12.
Adult worms live in the bile duct and small intestines of mice and rats, and larvae metamorphose in the haemocoel of beetles.
13.
The main body cavity is an open circulatory system, where blood is pumped into the haemocoel by a heart located near the dorsum.
14.
There are also affected cells in the gut cells that then affect the haemocoel and then are detected in a few fat body cells.
15.
Most of the cercariae encyst in the haemocoel of the ant and mature into mandibles onto the top of the blade and stays there until dawn.
16.
The ECVs which are the progenies released into the haemocoel from the midgut cells are more infectious than the PIBs and mediate disease spread within the insect body.
17.
Both are known to house endosymbiotic bacteria, in the case of bathyphytophilids most likely also in the oesophageal glands but in the lepetellids the endosymbionts are spread in the haemocoel.
18.
The ctenidium ( gill ), which is very large ( 15.5 % of the body volume ), and is supported by extensive blood sinuses filled with haemocoel.
19.
This typically spans a length of 10 12 days . Following the third larval stage, at which point they have become infective, they travel back to the proboscis of the mosquito via the haemocoel and enter another definitive host.
20.
Pumping of the hemolymph occurs by waves of peristaltic contraction, originating at the body's posterior end, pumping forwards into the dorsal vessel, out via the aorta and then into the head where it flows out into the haemocoel.
