The Immunocytes of Protostomes and Deuterostomes as Revealed by LM, EM and Other Methods

  • Chapter
Invertebrate Immune Responses

Part of the book series: Advances in Comparative and Environmental Physiology ((COMPARATIVE,volume 23))

Abstract

The immunocytes of invertebrates have not been well studied, since only a limited number of species of arthropods, mollusks, echinoderms and urochordates have been investigated. Most species of invertebrates do not have blood vessels that isolate the circulating fluid and cells from other connective tissue components. Thus, wandering cells in the fluid circulating through vessels or filling spaces among tissue cells and the coelomic cavity are presented in this chapter.
