Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The amebocyte-producing organ (APO) in normal and echinostome-sensitized Biomphalaria glabrata was studied at the ultrastructural level. The APO in unexposed snails consists of small clusters of primary ameboblasts resting on the epithelial cells lining the pericardium. The ameboblasts are held in a loose reticulum formed by extensions from smooth muscle and few fibroblastic cells. Secondary ameboblasts and amebocytes constitute further stages of this cell line. Amebocytes, resembling cells in the snail's circulation, appear in the blood sinus coursing through the interior of the APO. Exposure of snails to echinostome miracidia results in significant morphological changes in the organ. Large clusters of primary and and secondary ameboblasts appear, many of these cells undergoing mitosis. Fully activated APOs consist of masses of cells loosely arranged in zones of progressive maturation. Blood cells in activated APOs were significantly larger than those seen in normal APOs.
