Ants belong to insect class of arthropod animals. They do not have lungs like that of higher animals. They have a tube system inside their body called tracheal system. The trachae open by pores on the body called spiracles. They make direct exchange of gases with atmosphere.
Insects like ants do not have heart & blood vessels like that of higher animals. They have an open ciculatory system. The system consists of open spaces(lacunae) and some vessels through which their body fluid called haemolymph circulates. A dorsal vessel serves as heart as its pulsating action circulates the haemolymph.

NOT possible.. Keep in mind that The average life expectancy of an ant is 45-60 days. And...Ants do not have lungs. Oxygen enters through tiny holes all over the body and Carbon Dioxide leaves through the same holes. There are no blood vessels. The heart is a long tube that pumps colorless blood from the head back to the rear and then back up to the head again. The blood kind of coats the insides of the ants and is then sucked into the tube and pumped up to the head again.This IS ANOTHER factor against the possibility of them being under water for even a minute.... I have to hasten to add that the FIRE ANT does like water and will often have its colonies near water or MOIST areas but they do not LIVE IN water

well obviously no. Ants do not have lungs. Oxygen passes through tiny pores, the spiracles, in their exoskeleton - the same holes through which carbon dioxide leaves their body. Nor do they have a heart; a colorless blood, the hemolymph, runs from their head to rear and back again along a long tube. Their nervous system is much like a human spinal cord in that it is a continuous cord, the ventral nerve cord, from head to rear with branches into each extremity.
get it?

No, every living thing does not have a heart, lungs, etc. Insects don't need to pump oxygen or blood through their bodies because they are so small. The very movements of living are enough to spread whatever they need through their bodies. It won't work for larger animals because their body parts are too far from each other.

They breath through little tubes inside their abdomen that open to the sides of them (spiracles). They have no real lungs or blood vessels, because they are small enough for gases to difuse through them with not dedicated transport system. Some aquatic insects, crabs and most spiders have a set of things called "book lungs" that are like gills.

every living thing has lungs heart and vein except that they are not the same for each animal .
for eg the frog has only a two chambered heart whereas birds and humans have four chambered hearts

well yea..they do..they are insects you know...now go online and do a little research to see how an insects body works...we all should know about that stuff...but they don't have bones...its an exoskeleton and they are not warm blooded like mammals.

Insects breathe through their skin, so they do not have the same organs as we do.

they have exoskeletons and breath through air holes in their legs guess we will have to cut that abdomen and thorax open again
