  3. Trachealis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachealis_muscle

    Tracheomalacia may involve hypotonia of the trachealis muscle. [6]The trachealis muscle may become stiffer during ageing, which makes the whole trachea less elastic. [7]In infants, the insertion of an oesophagogastroduodenoscope into the oesophagus may compress the trachealis muscle, and narrow the trachea. [8]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles_of_respiration

    The involvement of these muscles seems to depend on the degree of respiratory effort. During quiet breathing, the scalenes are consistently physically active, while the sternocleidomastoids are quiet. [5] With an increase in the respiratory volume, sternocleidomastoids also become active. [6]

  9. Respiratory system of insects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_system_of_insects

    Air enters the respiratory systems of insects through a series of external openings called spiracles. These external openings, which act as muscular valves in some insects, lead to the internal respiratory system, a densely networked array of tubes called tracheae. This network of transverse and longitudinal tracheae equalizes pressure ...
