General Information
Term adult tracheal air sac ID (Ontology) FBbt:00003101 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition 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.[ FlyBase:FBrf0007735 ]
