Overview of exoskeleton anchoring to tendon cells and muscles in intramarsupial developmental stages of Porcellio scaber. In prehatching embryos (4A, B) and in premolt marsupial mancas (4C a semithin section and 4D) the connections between the exoskeleton, tendon cells and muscle cells were already established. EX exoskeleton ES ecdysal space NC new cuticle TC tendon cell MC muscle cell.
