What else can I help you with?
All modern amphibians use only their lungs for respiration?
No, all modern amphibians do not only use their lungs for respiration. They can also respire through their skin and tissues in the lining of their mouth.
Do all reptiles have lungs?
No, not all reptiles have lungs. Some reptiles, like snakes, have evolved specialized structures like air sacs that help in breathing. Crocodilians are an example of reptiles that use both lungs and special air sacs.
Why does your bodies need to respire?
To Breathe.. You Use Your Lungs To Breathe In Oxygen And Breathe Out Carbon Dioxide.
How do frogs respire?
Frogs respire through a combination of lungs and skin. They absorb oxygen through their skin when underwater and use their lungs when on land. They rely more on their skin for respiration when submerged.
What is Animal Respiration?
It is how animals respire, or breathe. We humans respire with lungs. Not all animals have lungs. For example, fish have gills, which they use to respire. Frogs breathe through their skin. All mammals (animals with hair) have lungs though, so they breathe like we do.
What breathing organs reptiles have?
Reptiles have lungs as their primary breathing organs. They rely on the expansion and contraction of their rib cage to facilitate breathing, drawing oxygen into their lungs and expelling carbon dioxide. Some reptiles, like snakes, have a single functional lung, while others have two functional lungs.
Does a frog use gills its whole life?
During the metamorphosis from tadpole to frog, a frog grows lungs and loses its gills.
Do cells of alveolar is lungs also respire oxygen to carry out cellular respiration?
Yes, they do use oxygen to carry out cellular respiration.
How do penguins respire?
Penguins have a respiratory system similar to other birds. They breathe air into their lungs, where oxygen is extracted and carbon dioxide is expelled. Penguins can dive underwater for extended periods of time due to adaptations such as increased oxygen storage capacity and efficient use of oxygen in their muscles.
Do any reptiles breathe through gills?
Yes, all reptiles breathe using lungs. If they are underwater they have to come to the surface to breathe. Amphibians (frogs, newts, salamanders etc) are NOT reptiles. Amphibians often breathe through their skin.
What is the respiratory organ of an adult frog?
As all living things respire, even toads do respire too. It is just the matter of the way the living things respire. Toads breathe through their skin with whats called cutaneous gas exchange. They also have lungs for when they're out and about, but when in hibernation or submerged in water, they just use their skin. (Did I answer the question?) :D
Do amphibians breathe with lungs or gill?
When amphibians are young, such as tadpoles, they breath using gills and spiracle. When they metamorphose and reach their adult state they start to breathe air out of lungs. Adult amphibians respire (take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide) through the skin. They also have other organs of respiration, including gills in the young of all species and the adults of some species, and lungs in the adults of almost all species. Some amphibians can also respire through the mucous membranes of the mouth. Extra note: I have not found evidence of any animal that has both lungs and gills at the same time.
