Ecdysozoa (/ ˌ ɛ k d ɪ s oʊ ˈ z oʊ ə /) is a group of protostome animals, [9] including Arthropoda (insects, chelicerata (including arachnids), crustaceans, and myriapods), Nematoda, and several smaller phyla.
Adult Rhopalomyia solidaginis fly, emerging from pupal case Process of ecdysis of a cicada.. Ecdysis is the moulting of the cuticle in many invertebrates of the clade Ecdysozoa.
Depiction of smooth muscle contraction. Muscle contraction is the activation of tension-generating sites within muscle cells. [1] [2] In physiology, muscle contraction does not necessarily mean muscle shortening because muscle tension can be produced without changes in muscle length, such as when holding something heavy in the same position. [1]
Cycloneuralia is a proposed clade of ecdysozoan animals including the Scalidophora (Kinorhynchans, Loriciferans, Priapulids), the Nematoida (nematodes, Nematomorphs), and the extinct Palaeoscolecida. [1] [2] It may be paraphyletic, or may be a sister group to Panarthropoda. Or perhaps Panarthropoda is paraphyletic with respect to Cycloneuralia. [3]

A main component in the cytoskeleton that helps show the true function of this muscle contraction is the microfilament. Microfilaments are composed of the most abundant cellular protein known as actin. [10] During contraction of a muscle, within each muscle cell, myosin molecular motors collectively exert forces on parallel actin filaments.
If the idea of a snake in your house frightens you, how would you feel if you had 92 of them living under your home? In the video above, a homeowner in Santa Rosa, California called an animal ...
These muscles are also known as neurogenic or synchronous muscles. This is because there is a one-to-one correspondence between action potentials and muscle contractions. In insects with higher wing stroke frequencies the muscles contract more frequently than at the rate that the nerve impulse reaches them and are known as asynchronous muscles ...
