An animal (insect) with an exoskeleton still grows under its exoskeleton like any other animal (insect). The exoskeleton is like a suit of armor, when the animal (insect) grows to big to fit inside its exoskeleton it sheds it, and a newer exoskeleton will grow to fit the animal (insect).
To shed an external covering, such as skin, feathers, or horns
When an insect sheds its outer skin, it's called molting.
An exoskeleton is a layer of skin that is like and "exo" (outside) "skeleton", that an animal sheds
An insect does this to grow. It expands rapidly before the next exoskeleton hardens.
The discarded outer covering of an animal.
No Ants do not have a back bone. In fact no insect has any bones at all, the body is supported by an exo-skeleton. A hard outer shell with the organs all inside without any bones. they have got a backbone.
an arthropod sheds it old exoskeleton when it has grown to a point where it needs a larger exoskeleton. This process is called ecdysis.
Response to external stimuli
The process is called menstruation.The uterus lining sheds when the egg wasn't fertilized and has to be deposited through the vagina.The purpose/function of the uterus is to protect the period of fertilisation of the ovum.Uterus lining sheds only when egg is not fertilized.Uterus lining remains thickened when the egg is fertilised(woman is pregnant).The process by which the uterus sheds its lining is known as menstruation. Menstruation occurs in females from the onset of puberty until the menopause.
As the arthropod grows up, the exoskeleton sheds in order for the arthropod to grow inside of it.
