What function does the spiracle serve?
Spiracles are the means by which insects breathe. They are openings in each side of the thorax and abdomen in most insects. They open into tubes called tracheae which carry oxygen to the tissues in the insect's body.
What is the site of gaseous exchange in an insects?
Insects have a unique respiratory system made up of small tubes called tracheae. The tracheae connect all parts of the body to small openings on the surface of the insect. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are transported through the tracheae (which the site of gaseous exchange) and from the tracheae to the blood of the insect by diffusion.
What do insects have instead of lungs?
Insects have, in their abdomen, introverted appendages wich form a ramificated structure called tracheal system. Air enters from lateral openings of the abdomen called spiracles, which can be closed, and then flows into tracheae and tracheols (ramifications of tracheae) reaching the hemocoel, where gas excanges occur.
What additional structures do most insects have?
simple eyes, compound eyes tracheae
Names of animals that breathe through breathing tubes?
Insects use tracheal system of breating not animalsand who the animal ?Insects do not breathe through their mouths as we do. The do not have lungs and their blood, which is a watery, yellowish liquid, does not carry oxygen and carbon dioxide around their bodies.Insects have a system of tubes, called tracheae, instead of lungs. These tracheae penetrate right through the insect's body. Air enters the tracheae by pores called spiracles. These spiracles are found on each side of the insect's abdomen. Each segment of the abdomen has a pair of spiracles.
What is the plural of the word trachea?
The plural of trachea is tracheae. As in "all humans have tracheae".
What body part do insect use for breathing?
Spiracles and tracheae are the body parts which insects use to do the equivalent of breathe.Specifically, air comes in through small openings on the abdominal surface. Spiracle is the name given to the opening at the end of the abdominal tubes which are called tracheae. Oxygen then spreads to the insect's tissues.
What is the reproductive function of the petal?
It attract insects and insects help in pollination
How do insects and birds breathe?
# Tracheae, which are introverted rigid appendages of the abdomen through which air passes reaching the hemolymph, entering from lateral holes in the abdomen called spiracles, which can be closed. Flying insects have big tracheal dilatations called air sacs to store much air. # Tracheolae, which are similar to tracheae but smaller. # Gills; made of branchial appendages or appendage extroflexions with thin cuticle to allow gas excanges to tracheae, tracheolae or directly to the hemolymph. Insects breathe through a complicated structure of tubes (called tracheae and tracheoles) and air sacs. Oxygen is pulled into the body through openings in their abdomens called spiracles. Once the oxygen has been pulled in, the outer most vents close and the air is forced into increasingly smaller pipes known as tubules, until it reaches the required cells. i think bugs r nice
