摘要: The cuticles of all arthropods have similar mechanical functions in comprising an exoskeleton, a protective cover and barrier between the metabolic tissues environment animal. How these are achieved depends on structure composition cuticle. Generally there is little difference means achieving properties cuticle by members different classes arthropods. Neville (1975) revealed that largest proportion available information concerns insect relatively known about other arthropods; this still true. This section will be primarily concerned with results from Most ideas cuticles, such as those crustaceans or arachnids, been derived conjecture work. relevance calcification discussed separately.
