Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

Synthesis and deposition of a protein-based noncellular, hardened, or membranous secretion from an epithelial sheet, occurring as part of the molting cycle. Examples of this process are found in invertebrate species. The shedding of the old protein-based cuticular fragments during the molting cycle. Examples of this process are found in invertebrates. The periodic shedding of part or all of a collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle, which is then replaced by a new collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle. An example of this is found in the Nematode worm, Caenorhabditis elegans. Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. The periodic casting off and regeneration of an outer covering of cuticle, feathers, hair, horns, skin, etc. The periodic shedding of part or all of a chitin-based cuticle, which is then replaced by a new cuticle. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. Attaching of a protein-based cuticle to the epithelium underlying it. The periodic shedding of part or all of a protein-based cuticle, which is then replaced by a new protein-based cuticle. A cuticle is the outer layer of an animal which acts to prevent water loss.
