Avian Physiology

Abstract

The avian respiratory system is unique among vertebrates in its structure and in the manner by which it accomplishes its main function, that of providing oxygen (O2) to and removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the blood. The model of the oxygen delivery system in Figure 8-1 shows the importance of this system in allowing normal cellular metabolism. This model illustrates that ventilation of the lung, along with gas exchange in the pulmonary capillaries, is coupled to the cardiovascular function of transporting oxygen to the body cells where it moves across capillary walls. The mitochondria are the ultimate O2 sinks and provide most of the high-energy phosphate compounds required for cellular function. For CO2, the route is from mitochondria to lung gas and atmosphere.
