What is an animal that uses book lungs?

Well, honey, an animal that uses book lungs is a good ol' arachnid, like a spider or a scorpion. These critters have book lungs, which are basically a bunch of thin, flat plates stacked like pages in a book, allowing them to breathe. So, if you ever come across a spider reading a book, just know it's probably just trying to catch its breath.


What are the three ways arthropods breath?

Arthropods breathe primarily through three methods: tracheae, gills, and book lungs. Terrestrial arthropods, like insects, utilize a network of tracheae that deliver oxygen directly to tissues through small openings called spiracles. Aquatic arthropods, such as crustaceans, typically use gills to extract oxygen from water, while some arachnids, like spiders, possess book lungs that facilitate gas exchange through thin, stacked layers of tissue.
