Mechanism of respiration
Oxygen enters the spiracle and passes through the length of the tracheae to the
tracheoles and into the target cells by a combination of
ventilation and diffusion
along a
concentration gradient, from high in the external air to low in the tissue. Where as the net
movement of oxygen molecules in the tracheal system is inwards (
Inspiration
), the net
movement of CO
2
and water vapour molecules is outwards, (
Expiration
).
Respiration in aquatic insects
1.
Closed tracheal system
In some aquatic and many endoparasitic larvae spiracles are absent and the tracheae
divide peripherally to form a network. This covers the body surface, allowing cutaneous gas
exchange. e.g. Gills : Tracheated thin outgrowth of body wall.
Lamellate gills - mayfly naiad
Filamentous gills - damselfly naiad
Rectal gills - dragonfly naiad
