In addition these airsacs utilise space within the acetabulum and synsacrum. The Cervical, Clavicular and Cranial Thoracic air sacs form one functional group - '''Cranial''', with the Caudal Thoracic and Abdominal Air sacs forming another, '''Caudal''' functional group. The air sacs have a vital role in [[Ventilation - Anatomy & Physiology|ventilation]], but do not have the capacity for [[Gas Exchange - Anatomy & Physiology|gaseous exchange]]. | + | '''Abdominal''' (x2) - these are the largest air sacs and fill the caudodorsal region of the abdomen, in contact with [[Small Intestine Overview - Anatomy & Physiology|small]] and [[Large Intestine - Anatomy & Physiology|large intestines]], [[Renal Anatomy - Anatomy & Physiology#Common Anatomy|kidneys]] and [[Reproductive System - Anatomy & Physiology|reproductive]] organs.
