Gaseous Exchange Surface in Insects

Question

Name the gaseous exchange surface in insects.

Answer

Tracheole

Tracheoles are tiny, finer tubes that branch off from the larger tracheae in insects. These structures play a crucial role in facilitating gas exchange at the cellular level. Tracheoles extend into the body tissues and directly come into contact with individual cells, allowing for the efficient diffusion of gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, between the tracheal system and the cells.
