Integument

  • Chapter
Lehrbuch der Entomologie

Zusammenfassung

Das Integument, die Körperdecke, besteht aus der einschichtigen, aus dem Ektoderm entstandenen Epidermis und der von ihr abgeschiedenen Cuticula. Die Cuticula bestimmt Aussehen, Form und Größe, Färbung und Habitus eines Insekts. Sie stellt das Außenskelett der Insekten dar, an dem Muskeln ansetzen. Die Cuticula ist kein starrer Panzer, sondern ist ein stark gegliedertes, teilweise sehr elastisches Sekretionsprodukt. Die einzelnen Teile sind durch Gelenkhäute gegeneinander beweglich. Wesentlich ist, dass die Cuticula lückenlos die Körperoberfläche bedeckt. Wenn Öffnungen darin vorhanden sind, so entstehen sie in besonderer Weise (s. 1.3.10). Eine cuticulare Auskleidung bedeckt als Intima die aus Einstülpungen des Ektoderms entstandenen Anteile des Vorder-und Enddarms sowie die Tracheen, Ausführgänge von Drüsen epidermaler Herkunft und die Ausführgänge der Geschlechtsorgane.
