Amphibian lungs don't have to be as efficient as gills because?
Amphibian lungs do not have to be as efficient as gills because there is much more oxygen in air than in water.
What is special abut birds' bones?
They are hollow (for lightness) and have air sacks connected to the lungs (this makes the lungs more efficient).
What does Cappilarisation of the Alveoli mean?
Cappilarisation is where the capillaries in the lungs and surrounding the alveoli increase in numbers, making gaseous exchange in the lungs more efficient so that the respiratory system is more efficient gnereally and during exercise, meaning the heart does not have to work at a higher level to supply nutrients and oxygen to muscles and organs.
Do Tasmanian tigers breathe air with their lungs?
Being extinct, Tasmanian tigers no longer breathe at all. This animal, more properly known as the thylacine, was a mammal, so it did breathe air using lungs.
Is a koala a mammal bird fish amphibian or a reptile?
it is a mammal because it has warm blood and breaths, doesn't hatch out of egg... remember all this stuff so you can tell apart mammals more easy
Why is a frog's heart not as efficient as a bird's heart?
The possession of four pulmonary veins, along with the fact that a bird's heart is generally larger and more muscular per pound (or kilogram) or body weight than ours, explains why a bird's circulatory system is more efficient than ours. The left ventricle in a bird's heart is by far the largest chamber and has to work exceptionally hard in small birds which have hovering flight such as humming birds.
What vertebrate group is ailurus fulgens in?
