Bird anatomy, or the physiological structure of birds' bodies, shows many unique adaptations, mostly aiding flight.Birds have a light skeletal system and light but powerful musculature which, along with circulatory and respiratory systems capable of very high metabolic rates and oxygen supply, permit the bird to fly.
About a third of people with H5N1 had respiratory symptoms, but these were most common among poultry workers who were exposed during bird depopulation activities. Two people in North America have ...
Bird flu and seasonal flu at the same time. Currently, respiratory virus activity is low in the U.S., but the country is on the brink of entering traditional flu season. Dr. Otto Yang, a professor ...
In birds, some temperature control occurs in the respiratory system. [16] Water vapor heats cool air during inhalation in the trachea, and increases its humidity. [16] The resulting evaporative water loss varies greatly and depends on several factors including air sac pressure and the subsequent rate of air flow through the trachea.
The majority of the human H5N1 infections have been among poultry and dairy farmworkers. ... Wastewater Surveillance System — across at least 10 ... for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases ...
