Answers and explanations:
**1. Book lungs. **
Book lungs are stacked tissues with air pockets where gases are exchanged (i.e., between blood and air)
2.Trachea.
The trachea is a system of tubules that take air through structures known as spiracles. These tubules can carry oxygen directly to tissues throughout the body

Arthropods, such as arachnids and insects, utilize specialized structures for air breathing: book lungs and tracheae. Book lungs consist of stacked tissue layers for efficient gas exchange, while tracheae are internal tubes that deliver air directly to tissues. These adaptations enable arthropods to effectively meet their oxygen demands in diverse environments.
