Tracheal System
The adult lung is primarily composed of alveoli, tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs. In total, there are about 300 million alveoli in the adult lungs, which significantly increases the surface area for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. Additionally, the lungs contain various structures such as bronchi, bronchioles, and blood vessels that facilitate respiratory functions. Overall, the intricate architecture of the lungs is essential for effective respiration and maintaining homeostasis in the body.
The abbreviation for respiratory failure in an adult as a result of disease or injury is ARF (Acute Respiratory Failure).
Hemimetabolous insects have a gradual change from larva to adult and the larva resembles the adult it will become. Holometabgolous insects have a pupal instar and the larva does not resemble the adult.
Infants have smaller lungs, and although they also have smaller bodies, the smaller lungs must work faster to exchange the amount of gasses, i.e. O2 and CO2, the same way their hearts beat faster than an adult's to pump the amount of blood they need because of it's small size.
Many adult insects have wings, which allow them to fly and aid in reproduction and dispersal. However, not all adult insects possess wings; some, like certain species of ants and termites, are wingless throughout their adult life. Additionally, some insects may only have wings during specific life stages, such as in the case of mayflies.

Insects have 4 stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.

The size of your respiratory system depends on how big you are. It gradually gets larger as you grow from an infant to an adult.
