adult tracheal air sac [FBbt_00003101]
Air filled epithelial sac of the adult tracheal system. These highly dilated trachea consist of thin epithelium with very thin chitinous lining, lacking
taenidia (FBbt:00005045). Consequently they are highly flexible and can collapse or expand with changes in pressure around them. (Miller, 1950)adult tracheal air sac

Air filled epithelial sac of the adult tracheal system. These highly dilated trachea consist of thin epithelium with very thin chitinous lining, lacking `taenidia` (FBbt:00005045). Consequently they are highly flexible and can collapse or expand with changes in pressure around them. (Miller, 1950)
