About: Apolysis

An Entity of Type: disease, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Apolysis (Ancient Greek: ἀπόλυσις "discharge, lit. absolution") is the separation of the cuticle from the epidermis in arthropods and related groups (Ecdysozoa). Since the cuticle of these animals is also the skeletal support of the body and is inelastic, it is shed during growth and a new covering of larger dimensions is formed. During this process, an arthropod becomes dormant for a period of time. Enzymes are secreted to digest the inner layers of the existing cuticle, detaching the animal from the outer cuticle. This allows the new cuticle to develop without being exposed to the environmental elements.

  • Apolysis (Ancient Greek: ἀπόλυσις "discharge, lit. absolution") is the separation of the cuticle from the epidermis in arthropods and related groups (Ecdysozoa). Since the cuticle of these animals is also the skeletal support of the body and is inelastic, it is shed during growth and a new covering of larger dimensions is formed. During this process, an arthropod becomes dormant for a period of time. Enzymes are secreted to digest the inner layers of the existing cuticle, detaching the animal from the outer cuticle. This allows the new cuticle to develop without being exposed to the environmental elements. After apolysis, ecdysis occurs. Ecdysis is the actual emergence of the arthropod into the environment and always occurs directly after apolysis. The newly emerged animal then hardens and continues its life. (en)
  • Apolisis (en griego antiguo, ἀπόλυσις "descarga, lit. absolución") es la etapa temprana de la muda en artrópodos y en grupos relacionados (Ecdysozoa). La cutícula se separa de la epidermis por acción de la hormona ecdisona y una nueva cutícula comienza a formarse. En estos animales la cutícula constituye el exoesqueleto; es rígida y no puede crecer con el resto del cuerpo del animal. Por lo tanto es necesario desprenderse de ella y producir una cutícula nueva de mayor tamaño. Las enzimas exuviales digieren la vieja endocutícula, dejando sólo la exocutícula que es fina y dura. La nueva cutícula crece por multiplicación celular de las células epiteliales.​​​ Después de la apolisis tiene lugar la ecdisis, o sea la emergencia del nuevo estadio del artrópodo. (es)
