How do amphibians use positive pressure to draw air into their lungs?

When the frog opens its mouth, Air flows in because it's in the nature of gases to flow from high pressure to low pressure ( Air to mouth ). When the air is inside the mouth of the frog, it closes its nose trills ( to avoid the escape if any air trapped ) and closes its mouth. When nose and mouth are closed, the air is trapped inside the mouth. Then, the frog raises its jaw which presses the air inside the mouth towards the lungs, because again, air under higher pressure (in mouth) goes to a place where there's lower pressure ( the lungs ). This is positive pressure inhalation.
Then O2 is released from the air to the lungs, and CO2 is picked up. The frog then lowers its jaw, to lower the pressure in the mouth, to let the air travel from the lungs, to the mouth and into the outside,
hope that helped!

Does a frog have gills and lungs?
toads do not have lungs,but they do breathe underwater. their skin absorbs the water which brings the oxygen into their bodies to help them breathe easily underwater. CORRECTION: Toads do in fact have lungs. Unlike many frogs, toads have dry skin but when in water they are still able to exchange gases through their skin in its moist state. Nevertheless, toads do have lungs, and draw air into their mouths and using their jaw muscles, force the air down into their lungs using positive pressure. It all depends on the species of toad, but both mechanisms for gas inhalation supplement each other.
How does the action of the external intercostal and diaphragm muscles draw air up your nose?
External intercostal and diaphragm increase the volume of the lungs, this action dicreases the pressure of the lungs. (we know pressure moves from the region of higher region to lower, in this case pressure is high in atmosphere and low in lungs). So air gets drew up in our nose.
How can you draw air pressure?
draw clouds
Why do you inject aspirated air from the syringe into the vital of diluent when you are reconstituting a drug for injection?
creates positive pressure that lets you draw the diluent easily. If you do not add air, a vacuum forms, making it difficult to draw the diluent.
What happens when we breathe?
We draw air into, and expel out of, the lungs.
What happens to amp draw as static pressure increases?
As your static pressure increases your Amp draw will drop
What is the definition to draw in breath?
To fill your lungs by sucking in air.
What lines do meteorologists draw?
Meteorologists draw lines to indicate air pressure, which are called isobars.
The muscle that the lungs rely on to take in and expel air is what?
Diaphragm! It is a dome-shaped muscle that helps to draw air into the lungs, which also separates the lungs from other important organs(heart,brain).
Draw a flow-chart to count how many of 10 input numbers are positive negative and zero?
draw a flow chart to input ten number and count the positive negative and zero
Is it possible to draw a circle of negative radius?
Radii are always positive. No, it is not possible to draw a circle with negative radius.
What does a ribcage do?
The rib cage serves two functions. It primary function is protection for the heart and lungs. Without this protection fatal damage could too easily occur. The second and far lesser function is in being part of the system (with the intercostal muscles) to pull the chest up to increase negative pressure on the lungs and draw in breath.
