Celomic cells of the marine fireworm Hermodice carunculata (Annelida, Polychaeta)

Department of Life Sciences, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena, Italy We have examined the morphological and functional characteristics of the celomic cells in the marine fireworm Hermodice carunculata. The cells differ in morphology, in relation to the presence of cytoplasmic granules...
