Insect respiratory system comprises extensive internal tracheal network opening externally via paired spiracles with valvular closure mechanisms on thorax and abdomen. Spiracles lead to atria and tracheae reinforced by spiral taenidia preventing collapse, branching repeatedly into finer tracheoles terminating near mitochondria, delivering air directly to tissues, bypassing circulatory system. Abdominal pumping ventilates sacs, discontinuous gas exchange minimizes water loss.
