Dynamics of the Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and Water Interaction across the Insect Spiracle
This paper explores the dynamics of respiratory gases interactions which are accompanied by the loss of water through an insect’s spiracle. Here we investigate and analyze this interaction by deriving a system of ordinary differential equations for oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. The analys...
