tracheal metamere 1 [FBbt_00005026]
Metameric subdivision of the tracheal system that originates in the mesothoracic segment (T2). As well as tracheating the mesothoracic segment, the major trachea of this metamere extends into all segments anterior to T2.

Anatomy
Metameric subdivision of the tracheal system that originates in the mesothoracic segment (T2). As well as tracheating the mesothoracic segment, the major trachea of this metamere extends into all segments anterior to T2.
Note that terminal tracheation by each tracheal metamere extends beyond its segment of origin. According to Whitten (1980), the most anterior tracheal metamere corresponds to the prothoracic segment.
