A unique feature of avian respiration involves the usage of turbinates within the nasal cavity during routine breathing. The nasal cavities in avian taxa are the first organ to moderate the inhalation of air humidity during periods of rest. The epithelial-lined turbinates within these cavities act as countercurrent heat exchangers. During this exchange, air inhaled becomes saturated as it brought further down into the respiratory tract. The air being exhaled stays saturated, allowing for a recovery of heat and moisture. [15] Circulation [ edit ] Dawson, William R (1982-01-01). "Evaporative losses of water by birds".
