Which structures help cockroaches breathe by opening to the exterior?

Answer: Spiracles.

  • A Spiracles
  • B Ostia
  • C Nephridiopores
  • D Stomata

Correct answer: A. Spiracles

Explanation: Cockroaches respire through a network of tracheal tubes that open to the exterior through small pores called spiracles, delivering oxygen directly to tissues.

The four basic animal tissue types and their core functions: epithelial (covering/lining), connective (support and transport), muscular (movement), and neural (signal conduction).

Concept context

The four basic animal tissue types (epithelial, connective, muscular, neural) and the cockroach as a model organism for organ-system level organisation.
