Which outcome results when avian air sac rupture inhibits unidirectional airflow?

💡 Explanation

When avian air sacs rupture inhibiting unidirectional airflow, decreased ventilation occurs because inspired air mixes with stale air reducing the partial pressure gradient facilitating gas exchange. Therefore reduced oxygen extraction results, rather than increased MR or infection which require compromised blood flow/immune function, or regulation affected by heat.
