Apolisis - Apolisis

Japanese: アポリシス - あぽりしす

…Ecdysone stimulates and promotes the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and proteins, as well as mitosis. After these processes, apolysis (separation of the old cuticle from the new cuticle) occurs in the epidermis, and the insect molts. There is no change in body structure during larval molting, but during pupal molting (metamorphosis), most tissues, including the internal structure, change. …

From [Shedding]

… The process of molting is essentially the same in both crustaceans and insects. Molting begins with the separation (apolysis) of the inner layer of the cuticle (endocuticle) from the epidermal cells. The epidermal cells secrete inactive cuticular digestive enzymes (molting fluid) and further secrete cuticulin and protocuticle to protect the cell surface. …

…エクジソンにより，DNA,RNA，タンパクの合成や有糸分裂等が刺激･促進される。これらの過程のあと，表皮ではアポリシス(旧クチクラと新クチクラの分離)がおこり，昆虫は脱皮する。幼虫脱皮に際しては体制の変化はないが，蛹（よう）脱皮(変態)時には内部構造を含んだほとんどの組織が変化する。…
