← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results if the avian parabronchial lung's crosscurrent flow is disrupted?
A)Reduced oxygen extraction efficiency occurs✓
B)Increased body temperature regulation occurs
C)Minimised carbon dioxide waste occurs
D)Enhanced unidirectional airflow circulation occurs
💡 Explanation
Reduced oxygen extraction occurs due to inefficient gas exchange caused by disrupted crosscurrent exchange; because blood and airflows are no longer perpendicular therefore optimal, which limits oxygen absorption, rather than enhancing other functions such as CO₂ waste.
