apodeme การใช้

• Similar to tendons, apodemes can stretch to store elastic energy for jumping, notably in locusts.
• Ingrowths of the arthropod exoskeleton known as "'apodemes "'serve as attachment sites for muscles.
• To circumvent this limitation, many jumping species slowly pre-stretch elastic elements, such as tendons or apodemes, to store work as strain energy.
• Apodemes are bulbous projections on the ventral surface of the exoskeleton to which most leg muscles attached, although some leg muscles attached directly to the exoskeleton.
• The main difference is that the female pregenital apodeme and epimerites IV are separated, while in the latter they are connected and form a distinct structure.
• Age of an " P . sylveirae " individual can be determined from the pigmentation of the transverse apodeme across the hidden base of the fifth sternum.
• Phragmata ( singular : phragma ) are plate-like apodemes that extend inwards below the antecostal sutures, marking the primary intersegmental folds between segments; phragmata provide attachment for the longitudinal flight muscles.
• The apodemes ( places of muscle attachment ) on the dorsal side of the abdomen look like pairs of dark dimples and presumably give the spider its Latin name " bi-" ( two ) and "-punctata " ( spots ).
