← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases when bird trachea pressure surges?
A)Air sac rupture from over-expansion✓
B)Excessive lift from augmented airflow
C)Increased body cooling requirements surge
D)Decreased oxygen absorption, muscle function limits
💡 Explanation
Rupture risk increases because increased pressure will exceed tensile strength and distend the thin membranes via the mechanism of passive inflation. This leads to barotrauma; therefore, sacs rupture rather than increased lift because wing mechanics determine flow, not sacs.
