What else can I help you with?
How are birds lungs different?
They connect to air sacks in the body and bones. This makes them more efficient that mammal lungs.
Why can a bird breath faster than a mammal?
because their lungs are smaller and they have more organs to pump blood through
Which is more efficient lungs or gills?
Gills are more efficient at obtaining oxygen, but there is much more oxygen in air to breath through the lungs.
How do birds respatory systems differ from those of mammals?
When the bird breaths in, the oxygen stays in there air sacs, but when humans breath in, the oxygen doesnt stay in the air sacs, it has a gas exchange in the alvioli and the oxygen goes into the blood stream
What vertebrates have air sacs attached to their lungs that make lungs more efficient?
According to my college biology professor, birds have the most efficient lungs of all LAND vertebrates.
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 is the respiration of birds?
Bird respiration is highly efficient, featuring a unique system of air sacs and lungs that allows for a continuous flow of air through the respiratory system. During inhalation, air enters the air sacs and flows through the lungs in a unidirectional manner, enabling a constant supply of oxygen and efficient gas exchange. This adaptation supports the high metabolic demands of flight, allowing birds to extract more oxygen from the air compared to mammals. Additionally, the structure of bird lungs minimizes dead space, enhancing respiratory efficiency.
The had a hip structure similar to birds?
Some dinosaurs, like theropods, had a hip structure that was more bird-like than mammal-like, with a pubis bone that pointed backwards like in birds. This adaptation allowed for more efficient bipedal movement and likely contributed to their agility and speed.
Are there more mammals than birds in the world?
No, there are more bird species than mammal species in the world. As of recent estimates, there are approximately 10,000 recognized bird species compared to around 6,400 mammal species. However, in terms of individual numbers, there may be more mammals overall due to the large populations of certain species, like rodents.
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
