Term Name:	embryonic hemocyte differentiation
Synonyms:	embryonic arthropod blood cell differentiation, embryonic hemocyte cell differentiation
Definition:	The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell derived from the embryonic head mesoderm acquires the specialized features of a mature hemocyte.
