How does air reach every cell of an insect?
The oxygen rich air enters through openings called spiracles situated on the sides of the body of an insect. Spiracles open into tracheal system. Trachea branch into tracheoles, which reach the cells. Thus, every cell gets oxygen directly. Carbon dioxide released by cells moves out through the spiracles.
