意味（1）

The blood cell of sea squirts, containing hemovanadin rather than hemoglobin.

Henze (1913 a) was able to localize the vanadium chromogen in certain blood cells which he designated as morulae (Maulbeerformen). […] This type of cell, which, as will be shown later, is probably confined to the Ascidiidae and Perophoridae, is hereinafter referred to as a vanadocyte, in order to distinguish it from other types of morulae which do not possess the properties just described.
