The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an open tracheal system over time, from its formation to the mature structure. An open tracheal system is a respiratory system, a branched network of epithelial tubes that supplies oxygen to target tissues via spiracles. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The orderly movement of epithelial cells during development of an open tracheal system. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The progression of the respiratory system over time from its formation to its mature structure. The respiratory system carries out respiratory gaseous exchange. Cell migration that is accomplished by extension and retraction of a pseudopodium. The orderly movement of epithelial cells from one site to another, often during the development of a multicellular organism. The process by which the population of cells that make up an epithelium undergo directed movement.
