Developmental Origin and Anomalies
Avian air sacs develop embryonically from diverticula of the primary bronchi. The precise timing of sac inflation is genetically programmed, though it can be disrupted by environmental factors, notably atmospheric pressure gradients below $700 \text{ hPa}$, which can cause nascent sacs to exhibit ventricular atrophy [4].
