About Lesson

Epidermis:

  • It is below the endocuticle and is a glandular and secrete cuticle and the enzymes for cuticle formation and digestion at the time of molting.

 

Basement membrane:

  • Also called basal lamina and is a noncellular layer beneath the epidermis and serves as a stable platform where epidermal cells are anchored and muscles are attached.
