An amphibian heart only has three chambers, true, but this does not necessarily mean it is less efficient. amphibians also utilize cutaneous respiration, so they are oxygenating blood through their skin as well as their lungs. Essentially, they have oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood mixing at the base (the connection point) of their left and right atria, which then empty into the ventricle, and is pumped throughout the body. They don't need the four-chambered heart to keep O2 and de-O2 blood separate (the so-called more efficient heart) because they have a more surface area by which to absorb oxygen.

Can you show a picture of internal structure of a frog?

I can't display pictures, but I can describe the internal structure of a frog. A frog's internal anatomy includes organs such as heart, lungs, liver, stomach, and intestines. These organs are housed within a cavity called the coelom, and the frog's skeletal structure provides support and protection for these organs.


Similarities between frog and human circulatory system?

The similarity is both of them use lung as the site for gaseous exchange. The difference is human heart has two ventricles while frog only has one. So the deoxygenated and oxygenated blood in frog are mixed together as its ventricle is not divided into two by septum, which is present in human.
