Dear student,
 
A cockroach has small openings on the side of its body. These openings are called spiracles. Insects have a network of air tubes called tracheae for gas exchange. Oxygen rich air rushes through spiracles into the tracheal tubes, diffuses into the body tissues and reaches every cell of the body.
