Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The ways by which the structure of the respiratory system of insects is related to the size of the insects.

Introduction:

Animals get oxygen from the environment with the help of gas exchange organs such as body surface, trachea, lungs, or gills. Unlike vertebrates, the insects respire with the help of tracheal tubes. The tracheal tubes are the network of tubes that are further branched into tracheoles.
