air sacs
Clinical description:
The air sacs are thin membranes distributed throughout the body. In a fresh healthy bird, air sacs should be transparent but, as seen here, the membranes will become slightly cloudy after death. In over-conditioned birds, fat may be present on the air sac membranes. Inflammation of the air sacs can result in thickened membranes, opacities, or fibrin deposition. Fluid, foam, or exudate can accumulate between the air sac membranes.
