Yes... They breathe through the skin. One family of leeches is known to have external gills. However, gas exchange usually occurs at the body surface where oxygen is absorbed.
1. Respiratory system 2. Cardiovascular system
The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. When we breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system's means of getting oxygen to the blood.
The binomial name depends from the species;eg. Hirudo medicinalis is the binomial name of the European common leech.
Hirudinaria is the genus for a type of leech. Hirudinaria manillensis is a buffalo leech.
The type of leech that lives in an oval cocoon is a freshwater leech. These leeches create oval cocoons to lay their eggs and protect them until they hatch.

Leeches do not have a separate respiratory system. They absorb oxygen through their cuticle (skin) and it diffuses throughout the leech's body. Carbon dioxide leaves via the same route - diffusion toward the cuticle where it will diffuse out.
The respiratory system is the system that handles breathing.
