| Bivalve molluscs possess several types of hemolymph cells (hemocytes), involved in internal defense and other physiological functions. Studies in pathological and experimental conditions have shown their micro- and macrophagic ability. However, the mechanisms of intracellular digestion are incompletely known in these organisms. The lysosomal apparatus of hemocytes was therefore investigated in several species by hydrolase localization with the electron microscope. The cytoplasmic granules of granulocytes displayed a strong acid beta -glycerophosphatase activity. Previous observations had shown that these granules may contain phagocytized material. This indicates that intracellular digestion is achieved in these organelles. Acid beta -glycerophosphatase... |

| The study of tinctorial affinities, in vitro behaviour and ultrastructure of the hemocytes of Pinna nobilis allows us to group them into two main families: basophilic, neutrophilic and acidophilic granulocytes; hyalinocytes, three categories can be distinguished among these cells: small hyalinocytes, hyalinocytes containing smooth endoplasmic reticulum and the macrophage population. The hemocytes participate in the regulation of metabolism by the storage and degradation of glycogen. They contribute to the detoxification process by the sequestration of mineral elements in their lysosomes. Their role in antibacterial defense is suggested by their bacterian phagocytic activity. |
