Why is oxygen not exchanged directly through the body surface in humans?
Humans are designed to use lungs for efficient oxygen transfer. The body surface (called skin or the epidermis) is designed more to keep harmful things out than to let oxygen in.
Can water go through your pores?
Water can, and does, move through the pores of human skin. Sweat (mostly water) is excreted (out) through skin pores. Additionally, some water is absorbed (in) through the skin pores. However, most water that is absorbed through the skin, enters through the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin. This is what makes skin pruney, when a long time is spent in the water. Human skin can absorb a wide variety of other chemicals, as well. This is why the delivery of some medications is accomplished using a patch.
What do humans breathe in a diving suit?
Humans breathe pure oxygen in diving suits because that is the gas humans and animals are required to have to stay alive and not suffocate. If a person scuba dives with pure oxygen they should dip a small object in ponaris and rub it on the inside of their nose so the tender skin of the inner nostril doesn't crack and bleed
What are the hazards of alkenes and alkynes?
If a hydrocarbon burns in a plentiful suppply of oxygen it will produce carbon dioxide and water, which is fine. However, if it does not burn in a plentiful supply of oxygen, it will produce carbon monoxide, which is poisonous to humans. In addition, the lower hydrocarbons are very highly flammable and can be explosive, and many are toxic and can be absorbed through the skin or lungs.
Is nicotine absorb though the skin?
That's how its done while using a nicotine patch. yes
What animals with skin that can absorb water and oxygen?
Amphibians
Can frogs absorb oxygen through their skin?
Yes. They can also absorb moisture through their skin.
Do worms absorb oxygen through their skin?
Well yes worms do asorb oxygen through their skin because it is the only way for them to breath. But like humans be breath through our nose or mouth, if worms tryed to do that then they would most likey die.
Why do humans not use their skin for gas exchange?
Humans cannot breathe through their skin because they are large organisms. Smaller organisms, such as frogs or flatworms, are able to absorb oxygen through their skin because the oxygen doesn't have to travel fr from the surface of the skin. It also has to do with the fact that human skin isn't as moist as the skin of frogs, etc., and moist skin is required for transdermal breathing.
Why do frogs only get oxygen through their skin?
The frog gets oxygen through its lungs just as we do. It can also absorb it through the skin and the mouth lining. Overall the surface area of the skin wouldn't be enough to absorb enough oxygen to supply all the cells of the body. However, absorption through the skin is very useful when the frog is under water.
How much oxygen does a frog absorb daily through skin?
2 ml
Reptiles used what to absorb oxygen?

How does the planaria breath?
They absorb oxygen through their skin, but they have to be moist.
How do leech breathe?

What structures do cnidarians have for respiration?
they don't have lungs or gills they absorb oxygen through there skin.
What is an amphibians breathing method?
Amphibians can breath through their nostrils. But many types can absorb oxygen through their skin.
How do worms get oxygen?
