Abstract
Morphological and functional studies were performed on hemocytes from young and adult Mytilus galloprovincialis. The results obtained suggest that only one cell type in two different stages, young or old, is present, consistently with the Mix's one‐cell‐type model. However, both young and old hemocytes appear capable of carrying out similar functions and express common signal molecules; thus, their differences in cytology and number appear to be due to cellular aging.
