…[Morioka Hiroyuki] Insects also have something called an air sac. It is an enlarged main trunk of the trachea, but it is able to expand and contract freely because it does not have the thin chitin rings taenidium that are found on the inner wall of the trachea. In addition to being useful for stability in flight (probably as buoyancy) and thermoregulation (body temperature rises with continued movement of the flight muscles in the thorax, so there are air sacs on both sides that surround the muscles), the air sac also plays a role in contracting after the larval molt as the internal structure develops, replacing the tough epidermis that cannot expand. … *Some of the terminology that mentions "taenidium" is listed below.
