Abstract
Features of formed elements of the haemolymph of mollusc Stenomphalia ravergieri are shown. Four types of haemocytes have been identified. Spherical haemocytes of the first type are capable of spreading and the formation of multiple pseudopodia that allows them to participate actively in phagocytic reactions. Haemocytes of type 2 are oval cells of the steady form which seldom form pseudopodia, they can adhere alien objects on their surface. Haemocytes of type 3 are amorphous cells of small size, with small pseudopodia. Haemocytes of type 4 differ from the previous type of cells in size only, and, probably, are an intermediate phase of the development of the third type haemocytes. Individual changes in the structure of cellular populations and dynamics of the number of haemocytes are revealed..
