Aquatic arthropods respire with gills, while terrestrial forms use book lungs (like spiders) or tracheae, which are air tubes with openings called spiracles.
Atmung bei Arthropoden: Wasserbewohner haben Kiemen. Landbewohner haben entweder Buchlungen (z. B. Spinnen) oder Tracheen. Tracheen sind Luftröhren mit Öffnungen, die Spirekelt genannt werden.
