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. 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. Attaching of a protein-based cuticle to the epithelium underlying it. A multicellular organismal process involved in the periodic casting off and regeneration of an outer covering of cuticle, feathers, hair, horns, skin. A multicellular organismal process involved in the cyclical phases of growth (anagen), regression (catagen), quiescence (telogen), and shedding (exogen) in the life of a hair; one of the collection or mass of filaments growing from the skin of an animal, and forming a covering for a part of the head or for any part or the whole of the body. The first process of molting, characterized by the detachment of the old cuticle from the underlying epidermal cells.
