From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tracheole (trā'kē-ōl') is one of the fine branching tubes of the trachea of an insect, which penetrates the tissues to provide oxygen.
It is of similar thickness to a human hair and contains a large amount of enzymes to cleanse the air of unwanted particles like bacteria and viruses.
