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.
