Q

what is the process of Avian respiration

A

during inhalation 1 air enters the trachea and flows to the posterior air sac, in exhalation 1 the air flows from the posterior airsack to the patabronchi and lungs. This is where gas is exchanged from oxygen to carbon dioxide. The air then flows from the parabronchi and lungs to anterior air sac in inhalation 2 where it then travels back into the trachea to exit the birds body. This is called exhalation 2
