Tracheole
- Provides surface Air sacs
area for the diffusion - Speed up the
of gases movement of gases
- Moist and thin
surface Spiracles
- Have valve which
allow air to go in and
Tracheae go out
- Made up of air tubes
spiracle
trachea oxygen
During inhalation tracheole During exhalation
-Abdominal muscles - Abdominal muscles
relax Carbon contract
-Spiracles are open dioxide -Pressure in tracheae
-Pressure in tracheae increases
decrease -Air move out from
-Air move into body of body of insects

filaments •Each gill is composed of filament which
is supported by a gill arch.

•Filaments have lamellae to increase the
cavity
surface area for gaseous exchange.
deoxygenated

•Gills filaments have network of blood
network of
blood capillaries to assist efficient exchange of

•Counter current exchange mechanism
maximises oxygen transfer.
