General Information
Term air bubble ID (Ontology) FBbt:00003003 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Bubble of gas that appears in the center of the prepupa. It then translocates to the posterior of the animal. Rhythmic contractions of the abdominal muscles, accompanied by a swaying motion of the prepupa, moves the gas bubble along the sides of the animal towards the anterior end, driving larval/pupal apolysis (the separation of cuticle from the epidermis) and creating a space at the anterior of the puparium for subsequent adult head eversion.[ FlyBase:FBrf0040740 FlyBase:FBrf0201083 ]
