What is the class of a vertebrates that breathe through their lungs and their skin?
how do birds breathe

How does a bird breath?
Birds breathe with lungs, in and out through beak and nostrils - pretty much like we do. Some have a sort of secondary system as well, with air sacs and even their hollow bones playing a role - but most it with lungs.
What are the difference between birds and mammals respiration?
Birds respiratory system maintain a high metabolic rate and supplies the extra oxygen required for high-attiude flight , While the mammals respiratory system brings air(oxygen) into the lungs.
Breathing mechanism in birds?
Inhaled air passes through the primary bronchus, and most enters the posterior air sacs as well as the lungs. During this passage, air that was in the posterior air sacs moves through the lungs air capillaries so that exchange takes place. During exhalation, the air in the posterior air sacs passes through the lung en route to the external environment. Again exchange goes on during exhalation.
What is the advantage of the one way airflow through a birds lungs?
Mammals' lungs contain alveoli, which are basically "dead ends", so contain a mixture of fresh and stale air. However, in bird as their airways are open at both ends (one-way) air flows straight through.
What is an advantage of the one way air flow through a birds lungs?
One significant advantage of the one-way airflow system in birds' lungs is its efficiency in oxygen exchange. This system allows for a continuous flow of fresh air through the lungs, ensuring that oxygen-rich air is always available for gas exchange, even during both inhalation and exhalation. This highly efficient respiratory mechanism supports the high metabolic demands of flight, enabling birds to sustain energy levels during intense activity. Additionally, it helps in maintaining a constant temperature in the lungs, which is beneficial for respiratory function.
