The 19 pages that link to Book lung, each with the reason it gives.

• GillsCompared with: Its folded internal plates resemble gill surfaces but exchange gases with air.

• ArachnidRelated: Spiders and scorpions use book lungs to exchange gases through the body wall.

• ChelicerataRelated: Book lungs are one way terrestrial chelicerates exchange gases.

• SpiderRelated: Many spiders breathe through book lungs, sometimes alongside tracheae.

• LungCompared with: It performs air–blood gas exchange with a folded structure unlike alveoli.

• ScorpionRelated: Scorpions exchange gases through book lungs beneath protective plates on the abdomen.

• Tracheal systemCompared with: It is an alternative arthropod respiratory structure rather than a branching tracheal network.

• OpisthosomaBroader topic: In spiders and scorpions, book lungs are housed in the opisthosoma.

• PedipalpCompared with: Book lungs are internal respiratory structures, unlike the external appendages called pedipalps.

• ArthropodaBroader topic: Spiders and scorpions use book lungs as one solution to breathing on land.

• Insect respirationCompared with: It exchanges gases through stacked surfaces rather than a branching tube network.

• Spider anatomyBroader topic: Some spiders breathe through paired plate-like organs inside the abdomen.

• ProsomaCompared with: Unlike the eyes and legs, book lungs usually lie in the opisthosoma.

• PseudoscorpionRelated: Many pseudoscorpions breathe through book lungs, though some use tracheae instead.

• TarantulaRelated: Many tarantulas breathe through book lungs on the underside of the abdomen.

• AmblypygiRelated: Amblypygids breathe through book lungs, a common arachnid respiratory structure.

• Evolution of spidersRelated: Book lungs connect spiders to terrestrial respiratory adaptations inherited from early arachnid relatives.

• Goliath birdeaterRelated: Book lungs provide the spider’s main respiratory system.

• UropygiBroader topic: These organs supply oxygen without relying on the mouthparts or flagellum.
