Comparative physiology

the model of the bird lung in which blood capillaries run across the airflow of the parabronchi, allowing efficient oxygen uptake regardless of airflow direction.

In comparative physiology, cross-current gas exchange refers to the model of the bird lung in which blood capillaries run across the airflow of the parabronchi, allowing efficient oxygen uptake regardless of airflow direction. This meaning comes from Scheid (1972) in Respiration Physiology.[1]
