How Does Connective Tissue Support Wasp Physiology?
Connective tissue in wasps provides structural support and plays a crucial role in tissue repair and immune responses. Hemolymph, the wasp equivalent of blood, circulates through the body, transporting nutrients, waste products, and immune cells. The exoskeleton, a specialized form of connective tissue, offers protection and structural support, aiding in locomotion and defense against predators.
