Abstract
Following an injuring factor such as the injection of erythrocytes into the tunic of Ciona intestinalis, an inflammatory-like response occurs and bloo d cells are massively involved in these mechanisms. Electron microscope obs ervations illustrate the infiltration and migration of blood cells througho ut the mantle epithelium into the tunic and show several prominent morpholo gical changes.
