In mammalian lungs, inhaled air passes along bronchioles (tubes) to alveoli (dead-end sacks) where oxygen is absorbed. Exhaled air reverses back along these tubes in what is called a tidal fashion. The lungs of birds are very different. They lack the alveoli and instead the bird lung is composed of a network of very thin tubes termed parabronchi (the bird lung is often therefore referred to as a parabronchial lung), each of which divides into very many thinner capillaries where gaseous exchange takes place.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - parabronchus
