The breathing organs are gills in some Arthropods (the Crustacea, crayfish, crabs); insects and centipedes breathe by air-tubes or tracheae, while the respiratory organs of spider-like animals, when these do not breathe entirely by means of the skin, are more or less strongly modified tracheae. The structure of the tracheal system is generally as follows: on each side of the body there is a row of breathing-holes, or stigmata, through which the air can enter the trachese; these are very much branched, so that they finally become very fine tubes investing the various organs,.
