Forms Respiration Arthropods Aquatic Gills Terrestrial Book Lungs

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.
