In nut shell, the tracheal respiratory system of insects is a dynamic system, capable of a tremendous range of function and fine control. This light-weight, adaptable, high-capacity respiratory system is certainly one of the major traits which underlie the ecological and evolutionary success of ...
evolved from terrestrial ancestors, and various adaptations have been necessary for them to return to the water, such as cutaneous respiration, plastron respiration, spiracular gills, development of tracheal gills, and evolution of hydrofuge surfaces in insects that retained terrestrial tracheal system.EL...
The system of organs and structures in which gas exchange takes place, consisting of the lungs and airways in air-breathing vertebrates, gills in fish and many invertebrates, the outer covering of the body in worms, and specialized air ducts in insects. ...
The tracheal system supplies enough oxygen to meet those enormous demands of flight. . . The ___circulatory system of insects does participate in gas exchange .. . Air-breathing vertebrates use ( gills / lungs) to bring oxygen into the circulatory system and remove carbon dioxide.. . All lu...

- Description: In this type, the respiratory system consists of a network of tubes called tracheae that deliver oxygen directly to tissues. Spiracles are openings on the body surface that allow air to enter the tracheal system.- Example: Insects, such as grasshoppers and bees, utilize tracheal...
The coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei) is the most economically important insect pest of coffee globally. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) was used to reconstruct the respiratory system of this species for the first time; this is the smallest i
The human respiratory system is comprised of special organs designed to take in oxygen for the air we breathe and expel carbon monoxide, keeping us alive. Let's take a closer look at these organs and explore respiratory physiology in more detail.
Immune responses in the hemocoel occur in a dynamic space, where hemocytes, humoral immune factors, and pathogens are propelled through the body by the action of an open circulatory system [2, 7]. This circulation is primarily mediated by the contractile action of a muscular dorsal vessel tha...
