The lungs of a pig is larger and more evolved than that of a frog. This is because the frog has other organs of respiration apart from the lungs e.g the skin (cutaneous respiration) and mouth(buccal respiration) hence does not depend on the lungs solely for respiration unlike the pig which has thev lung as its only respiratory organ

∙ 13y agoFrogs are amphibians, and so respire through their skin. This is because they have poor, three-chambered hearts. This led to the development of the ability of repiration through skin.
On the other hand, pigs are mammals, and so have good, four-chambered hearts. This means they had no need to develop an alternative form of respiration, and so still have lungs that are mainly used. This means their lungs are good, and relatively large.

∙ 9y agoThe lungs of a frog are remarkably smaller than that of the pig's. The frog's lungs are also less evolved that that of the pig's since the frog has other organs for respiration.

How do the limbs of a pig differ markedly from those of humans?
how do the limbs of a pig differ markedly from those of humans?
How do the brachial veins of the pig differ from those of humans?
The brachial veins of the pig differ from those of humans because of the location. A pig's brachial veins are on the same path as their axillary veins directly to their forearms. Human's brachial veins are on one side of the brachial artery and generally join the axillary vein near the bottom of the Subscapularis.
Why are a fetal pig's lungs collapsed?
The pig has not yet used the lungs to breathe, so therefore they lungs have not been inflated and filled with air.
At what time will the pig first begin to make full use of the lungs?
If the umbilical cord is not cut off it will deteriorate after the pig makes full use of its lungs. The pig uses its lungs immediately after it is born.
What is The airway from mouth to lungs in a fetal pig?

What the funcion of the lungs in pig?
Lungs collect oxygen.

What is the function of a pig's trachea?
The main function of a pig's trachea is to breathe. It is part of system of passages that allow air into the lungs.
The lungs do not function in a fetal pig what takes over their function?
When the lungs do not function the backup respiratory system takes over the function of the lungs. This is true in a fetal pig.
