Hematopoiesis and hemocytes in pancrustacean and molluscan models / Smith, V. J.; Accorsi, A.; Malagoli, Davide. - STAMPA. - (2016), pp. 1-28. [10.1016/B978-0-12-801975-7.00001-3]
abstract:
The hematopoietic districts and their organization are here described in detail for some of the principal pancrustacean and molluscan models. Pancrustaceans present an overall similar organization of hematopoietic organs, while among mollusks the hematopoietic organs and tissues are more diversified. The morphologies, functions, and main lineages of circulating hemocytes are recapitulated, and the common traits between different taxa are evidenced
