Abstract
SYNOPSIS: Carmine particles and lipids are taken up by the digestive cells of the digestive gland of Helix. These substances are taken up by phagocytosis, and the apical and “green” granule vacuoles (Sumner, 1965) of the digestive cells are phagocytosis vacuoles. Carmine eventually becomes incorporated into the small yellow granules showing that they are derived from the “green” granules. Lipids are also taken up by the epithelia of the digestive‐gland ducts, intestine, and rectum. Phagocytosis has not been found in these sites, and the process appears to resemble that found in vertebrates.Keywords
