How do frogs breathe?

Frogs are amphibians. They can breathe using their lungs* on land, or absorb oxygen through their skins when underwater (this is called cutaneous respiration). Lacking diaphragm muscles, frogs on land may be said to "swallow" air : they inhale air through their nostrils, inflating skin sacs in their throats, then press down with the mouth muscles to force it into the lungs. (*At least one very rare species of frogs lacks lungs altogether, relying exclusively on absorption through the skin.)
