The respiratory system of poultry includes nasal openings, nasal passages, trachea, bronchi, lungs, and air sacs. It differs from mammals in that poultry have complete tracheal rings, an organ of phonation at the trachea bifurcation rather than near the pharynx, fixed non-expanding lungs, and air sacs that extend into pneumatic bones. Respiration involves inspiration through bronchi and expiration through air sacs, facilitating gas exchange through the lungs. Thermoregulation occurs via radiation, conduction, convection, and evaporation from the respiratory tract.

Specialities in Birds respiratory system: Air sacs, specialized parabronchi , Unidirectional flow
Benifits of air sacs, Benefit of 2 respiratory cycles
Bird-like respiratory systems in dinosaurs
Rate of breathings in birds
Birds require large amount of oxygen due to their flight activity in accordance to which their respiratory system is comparatively more complex and developed.
The respiratory system (also respiratory apparatus, ventilatory system) is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for gas exchange in animals and plants. The anatomy and physiology that make this happen varies greatly, depending on the size of the organism, the environment in which it lives and its evolutionary history. In land animals the respiratory surface is internalized as linings of the lungs. Gas exchange in the lungs occurs in millions of small air sacs; in mammals and reptiles these are called alveoli, and in birds they are known as atria. These microscopic air sacs have a very rich blood supply, thus bringing the air into close contact with the blood.These air sacs communicate with the external environment via a system of airways, or hollow tubes, of which the largest is the trachea, which branches in the middle of the chest into the two main bronchi. These enter the lungs where they branch into progressively narrower secondary and tertiary bronchi that branch into numerous smaller tubes, the bronchioles. In birds the bronchioles are termed parabronchi. It is the bronchioles, or parabronchi that generally open into the microscopic alveoli in mammals and atria in birds. Air has to be pumped from the environment into the alveoli or atria by the process of breathing which involves the muscles of respiration.
In most fish, and a number of other aquatic animals (both vertebrates and invertebrates) the respiratory system consists of gills, which are either partially or completely external organs, bathed in the watery environment. This water flows over the gills by a variety of active or passive means. Gas exchange takes place in the gills which consist of thin or very flat filaments and lammelae which expose a very large surface area of highly vascularized tissue to the water.
Other animals, such as insects, have respiratory systems with very simple anatomical features, and in amphibians even the skin plays a vital role in gas exchange. Plants also have respiratory systems but the directionality of gas exchange can be opposite to that in animals. The respiratory system in plants includes anatomical features such as stomata, that are found in various parts of the plant.
The respiratory system is the network of organs and tissues that help you breathe. It includes your airways, lungs, and blood vessels. The muscles that power your lungs are also part of the respiratory system. These parts work together to move oxygen throughout the body and clean out waste gases like carbon dioxide.
The content in the slide are solely depended upon the syllabus of Purbanchal University for third-semester students. This content of the respiratory system will be enough for B.Pharmacy students studying anatomy and physiology
2. What is respiratory system?
“The respiratory system is the anatomical system
of an organism that introduces respiratory gases to
the interior and performs gas exchange”
Respiratory system of poultry comprise of
1. Nasal opening
2. Nasal passage
3. Trachea
4. Bronchi (bronchus)
5. Lungs
6. Air sacs
3.
4. Differences between the respiratory
system of poultry and mammals
Tracheal rings are complete in case of birds
The organ of phonation (syrinyx) is located at the
bifurcation of trachea rather than near pharynx
The lungs are fixed in position and can not contract
and expand in the respiration
Air sacs are present in the birds while absent in case of
mammals. The air sacs are extended to the bones
known as pneumatic bones. These structures have the
ability to contract and expand with respiration
Diaphragm is absent in birds
5. TRACHEA
Trachea conducts the air from nasal cavity and mouth
to the bronchus or bronchi
Causes the warming and moistening of air
Causes the screening of dust and foreign material
It also provides the local immunity
1. By filtering or screening the dust particles with the
help of cilia
2. Mucous
3. Production of immunoglobin (Ig A) that are
antibodies
The trachea after entering into the body bifurcates
into two structures known as bronchi (Right
bronchus, left bronchus)
6. BRONCHI
Bronchial system of bird consists of three orders of
branching before the gas exchange units are reached
1. Primary bronchus
2. Secondary bronchus
3. Tertiary bronchus (Para bronchi)
4. Peri perabronchial mental
7. PRIMARY BRONCHI
The primary bronchus arises from the bifurcation trachea.
It has two parts.
1. Extra pulmonary primary bronchus
2. Intra pulmonary primary bronchus
Part of the bronchus outside the lung is known as extra
pulmonary primary bronchus
Part within lungs is known as intra pulmonary primary
bronchus
Primary bronchus is made up of circular cartilage rings and
has a well developed layer of smooth muscles which
control the diameter or size of the bronchus
8. SECONDARY BRONCHI
The bronchus arising from the primary bronchus is known
as secondary bronchus. In most of the birds secondary
bronchi are arranged into four groups.
1. Medioventral
2. Mediodorsal
3. Lateroventral
4. Laterodorsal
Cervical, clavicular, and cranial thoracic air sacs arise from
the medioventral group of secondary bronchi
Caudal, thoracic and abdominal air sacs are derived from
mediodorsal and lateroventral group of secondary bronchi
9. TERTIARY BRONCHI
The tertiary bronchi (Para bronchi) are derived from the
multiple ramifications of secondary bronchi. These are long
narrow tubes that display a high degree of anastomosis (The
connection of separate parts of a branching system to form a
network, as of leaf veins, blood vessels, or a river and its
branches)
The para bronchi give rise to a specific structure known as atria
which is out pocketing on the surface of Para bronchi
It give rise to extensions known as infundibuli
The infundibuli gives rise to final extensions known as air
capillaries
The atria, infundibuli, and air capillaries collectively leads to the
formation of a gas exchange unit peri Para bronchial mental. The
blood capillaries make close contact with peri para bronchial
mental and thus the exchange of gases takes place between the
blood present in the blood capillaries and air present in the air
capillaries
10. In most of the birds two kinds of Para bronchi are
present
1. Paleopulmonic Para bronchi
2. Neopulmonic Para bronchi
The Para bronchi located towards the cranium air sacs
are known as paleopulmonic para bronchi
Those located towards the posterior or caudal air sacs
are known as neopulmonic para bronchi
11.
12. AIR SACS
The birds have 9 air sacs.
1. One clavicular
2. Two cervical
3. Two anterior thoracic/ cranial
4. Two posterior thoracic/ caudal
5. Two abdominal
13.
14.
15. The air sacs are the continuation of the secondary bronchi
Air sacs are made up of thin walled structure which
comprise of simple squamous epithelium and a thin layer
of connective tissue
The walls of air sacs are poorly vascularized (poor blood
supply) due to which non significant exchange of gas takes
place
The air sacs are extended to certain bones and make them
pneumatic in nature
The air sacs are extended to the cervical vertebrae, thoracic
vertebrae, ribs, sternum, humerus, pelvis, head, and body
of femur
The air sacs are responsible for providing the space during
the respiratory cycle and there by function to increase the
pulmonary ventilation
16. MECHANISM OF RESPIRATION
The respiratory mechanism is composed of two
processes
Inspiration
Expiration
Inspiration or Inhalation:
Inspiration is a process during which the air is taken
up by the bird and processes in the lungs
Process is active process because it consumes energy
while in case of mammals this process is passive
17. Expiration or Exhalation
The discharge or removal of air into the environment is
known as expiration or exhalation
This process is passive in nature in birds while active in
case of mammals
As the birds are lacking in diaphragm but so the
process of respiration depends upon thoracic,
abdominal, and cervical muscles
During the process of inspiration the inspiratory
muscles contract ultimately leading to the increase in
internal abdominal thoracic volume and pressure
decreases
18.
19. Due to this process the pressure in the air sacs is reduced
and air from external environment moves towards the air
sacs through neopulmonic para bronchi while towards
cranial air sacs through paleopulmonic para bronchi
During the process of respiration the exchange of gases
takes place in the mental of neopulmonic para bronchi and
paleopulmonic para bronchi
The oxygen moves towards the blood from air capillaries
while carbon dioxide moves towards the air capillaries from
gut
The exchange of gases depends upon the difference of
partial pressure of particular gas either in air capillaries or
blood stream present in the blood capillaries
20. The blood capillaries and peri para bronchial mental are
arranged in a specific type of arrangement known as cross
current arrangement
In this type of arrangement the air capillaries and blood
capillaries are present at right angle to each other due to
which maximum exchange of gases takes place by diffusion
In the process of respiration the respiratory muscles
contract leading to an increase in the intra
thoracoabdominal pressure which ultimately generates the
pressure on air sacs thus leading to expiration of inhaled air
The air present in the caudal air sacs is passed through the
neopulmonic para bronchi
The air then enters the cranial air sacs while the air present
in the cranial air sacs is removed and the air entering from
the caudal air sacs is removed during the second
respiratory cycle
21. THERMOREGULATION
The birds like mammals are homoeothermic in nature
because they tend to maintain the temperature of deeply
seated organs like brain, liver, heart, intestine etc. In
homeothermic animals the amount of heat produced by
the muscular exercise and metabolic activity like oxidation
of glucose is equal to the amount of heat loss from the
animal to its environment. The heat is lost to the
environment by the process
Radiation
Conduction
Convection
Evaporation/panting
22. Radiation
“The heat exchanged by the radiation involves the
transfer of heat by electromagnetic wave and consist of
heat transfer within both the visible and infrared portion
of spectrum”
Conduction
“Loss of heat by this process involves the direct transfer
of heat from the animal body surface to the air. The loss
of heat by the process of conduction is very low because
the thermal conductivity of skin and subcutaneous
tissue is also low”
23. Convection:
“Heat loss by the process of convection takes place due
to direct contact of air or any other material with skin of
animal. The heat loss by this process depends upon the
velocity of air as well as the temperature of air. The heat
loss by this process also depends upon the surface area of
body in contact with air”
Evaporationpanting:
“The birds do not contain the sweat glands due to which
the loss of heat from skin by the form of evaporation is
not possible. On the other hand the heat loss occur by
evaporation from the most lining of respiratory tract as
well as the tongue”
