How Insects Breathe 🦗 🫁
Insects don't have lungs to breathe like we do.
You see, our lungs inhale large volumes of air and they quickly and efficiently diffuse the oxygen into our circulatory system where it quickly reaches every corner of our large body.
On the other hand, insects are so tiny that they can achieve their oxygen needs through a series of small holes in the sides of their bodies called spiracles.
Air enters through the spiracles and flows through a series of ever smaller, tube-like structures called tracheae.
Eventually terminating in a tracheole, which is in direct contact with the insect tissue that needs to be oxygenated.
