Describe the phases of ventilation in birds.
Because flight is metabolically demanding, birds have very efficient systems that help to meet these demands. Look at the following
list of characteristics and choose those that contribute to the physiological demands of flight.
One-way airflow
respiration
Endothermy
Large heart
Nucleated red blood
cells
Slow heart rate
Two-cycle lung
ventilation
Air sacs
