Which mechanism improves flight efficiency when avian air sacs permeate bones?

💡 Explanation

Pneumatization involves air sacs invading bones, replacing dense marrow with air. This considerably lightens the skeleton because overall mass decreases, enabling greater flight efficiency, rather than increased oxygenation or muscle function influencing efficiency directly.
