If Earthworms have a cuticle why do they not undergo 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.
What is the process called when arthropods have an exoskeleton which they shed as they grow?
Arthropods molt (moult) in a process called ecdysis. It is necessary for growth because of the inflexibility of the exoskeleton. The old shell remnants are called exuviae. Note that the term 'anthropod' should not be confused with 'arthropod'; anthropods are humans or humanoids and do not moult in the canonic sense.
What enables arthropods to increase in size?
Since the external covering (exoskeleton) is inflexible, it's necessary for arthropods to periodically shed it (moult) in order to grow, a process called ecdysis.
What is the difference between molting and 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]
What is the shedding of skin called?
It is called Ecdysis or Molting.
What is shedding of skin in an insect called?

What is a insect remain called?
Husk - Exuvia - Moult - Ecdysis .
During ecdysis in snakes what happens to the blood circulation?
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.
What process does an arthropod sheds its exoskeleton to grow a new one?
an arthropod sheds it old exoskeleton when it has grown to a point where it needs a larger exoskeleton. This process is called ecdysis.
What is the function of the ecdysis?
I thik it is the shedding of skin undergo by snakes and other reptiles.
