WHAT DOES AMEBOCYTE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Amebocyte

An amebocyte or amoebocyte is a mobile cell in the body of invertebrates such as echinoderms, mollusks or sponges. They move by pseudopodia. Similarly to some of the white blood cells of vertebrates, in many species amebocytes are found in the blood or body fluid and play a role in the defense of the organism against pathogens. Depending on the species, it may also digest and distribute food, dispose of wastes, form skeletal fibers, fight infections, and change into other cell types. Limulus amebocyte lysate, an aequous extract of amebocytes from the horseshoe crab, is commonly used in a test to detect bacterial endotoxins. In sponges, amebocytes or archaeocytes are cells found in the mesohyl that can transform into any of the animal's more specialized cell types. In old literature, the term amebocyte is sometimes used as a synonym of phagocyte.
