The tracheal system of insects
- a. consists of several tracheae that connect to multiple lungs within the different segments of the body.
- b. consists of extensively branching tubes that are in close contact with all the cells of the body.
- c. allows oxygen to diffuse directly across the thin exoskeleton of the insect to the bloodstream.
- d. cannot function without constant movement of the wings to move air into and out of the body.
- e. provides oxygen that is carried through the animal’s body in hemolymph.
