MOLTING- Periodic shedding of exoskeleton to allow growth http://www.serc.si.edu/education/resources/bluecrab/molting.jsp MOLTING- Periodic shedding of exoskeleton to allow growth
Growth puts pressure on old shell http://www.serc.si.edu/education/resources/bluecrab/molting.jsp Growth puts pressure on old shell Stimulating molting hormones to digest old exoskeleton and make new one underneath Shell cracks open and animal backs out Animal pumps up with water and expands New shell hardens in few days While waiting for new exoskeleton to harden = particularly vulnerable to predators “soft shelled crabs”
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM makes hormones that control: MOLTING SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT METABOLISM
