endothermic metabolism.
Air flows through bird lungs in only one direction.
13. Why are the lungs of birds most efficient?
Thus, gas-exchange surfaces are constantly in contact with fresh air.
Circulation
(pages 860–861)
14. Is the following sentence true or false? Chordates that use gills for respiration have a
true
single-loop circulatory system.
15. Identify where the blood is carried in each loop of a double-loop circulatory system.
Carries blood between the heart and the lungs
First loop:
Carries blood between the heart and the body
Second loop:

17. In vertebrates with gills, the heart consists of
chambers.
The reptilian heart
18. What is the advantage of the reptilian heart over the amphibian heart?
heart has a partial partition in the ventricle that reduces the mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor
blood.
One pump
19. Why is a four-chambered heart sometimes described as a double pump?
moves blood through the lung loop, and the other moves blood through the body loop.
