I thik it is the shedding of skin undergo by snakes and other reptiles.
Not every relation is a function. But every function is a relation. Function is just a part of relation.
The cubic function.
Range
A formula or graph are two ways to describe a math function. How a math function is described depends on the domain of the function or the complexity of the function.
The Mandelbrot graph is generated iteratively and so is a function of a function of a function ... and in that sense it is a composite function.
The process of shedding skin in insects is Ecdysis.
Earthworms in the class oligochaeta, which is in the phylum annelida. Ecdysis occurs in the phylum arthropoda. My guess is that earthworms' cuticles undergo a process closer to our skin's than ecdysis.
Molting is the process of secreting new cuticle. It ends into ecdysis i.e. separating new and old cuticle and shedding old cuticle. It has 3 phases preparatory, ecdysis and post ecdysis. This process ends by eclosion i.e. final emergence out of old cuticle.[Ref: insects]
Ecdysis is when an arthropod molts its exoskeleton. Molting is necessary. The arthropod exoskeleton is inflexible, so, for it to grow larger, arthropods must molt.
It is called Ecdysis or Molting.
Husk - Exuvia - Moult - Ecdysis .
During ecdysis the blood circulation is effected due it there may be a blockage between the arteries and veins and it also causes the death of the patient.
an arthropod sheds it old exoskeleton when it has grown to a point where it needs a larger exoskeleton. This process is called ecdysis.
Moulting or ecdysis
The technical term is 'sloughing' - the scientific term is 'ecdysis'
Growth occurs by molting, or ecdysis. In many arachnids the first molt occurs while the animal is still within the egg. ... Growth can occur only by shedding the old exoskeleton, a process termed molting or ecdysis.
Molting, or in Latin, ecdysis (meaning 'to strip'!).
