ANSWER: If you are asking about respiration, the simple answer to your question is that it doesn't refuse carbon dioxide. When a frog inhales, it breathes whatever is in the air around it. Since normally there is almost no carbon dioxide in the air (less than 0.1%) the frog inhales almost no carbon dioxide. The blood circulating through the lungs quickly absorbs the oxygen out of the lungs and into blood stream while discharging the carbon dioxide in the blood stream back into the lungs. When the frog exhales, it releases the carbon dioxide from the blood back into the air where it quickly diffuses into the air surrounding the frog. Then the cycle repeats.

Frogs have a specialized breathing system that allows them to take in oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide. They have lungs that enable them to breathe air, but they also have the ability to respire through their skin. When they are in water, they can absorb oxygen through their skin, and when they are on land, they primarily use their lungs to breathe air.

What two gases are exchanged across the lining of a frog's mouth?
My guess would be oxygen and carbon dioxide.
How does the design of a human red blood cell fit its function?
The shape of frog's blood cell is usually an oval and slightly small shape.
What is the function of the frog blood cell?
To carry oxygen to the frog's body cells.
How do amphibians take in oxygen?
Respiration of an amphibian varies, especailly on what stage in it's developemen it is. For a frog in its tadpole stage it uses gills as a fish would. When it matures it has lungs to take in oxygen. Some amphibians are able to realse carbon dioxide into water through their skins in a process known as cutaneous (may be spelled wrong).
How does frog respire during hibernation?
I am sure they breath by their skins, they need to keep their skin moist and fresh so they reside near water so the exchange of oxygen occurs through their oxygen-permeable skin.
What is the function of the mucus on a frog's body?
To aid in the diffusion of oxygen into the body and carbon dioxide out of the body
What two gases are exchanged across the lining of a frog's mouth?
My guess would be oxygen and carbon dioxide.
How is the frog's skin adapted to the water?
A frog's skin is permeable, this means it lets water in and out. Frog skins also let oxygen pass in and carbon dioxide pass out.
What is the function of the frog's respiratory system?
It absorbs oxygen while at the same time releases carbon dioxide across its surface.
What gases does the northern leopard frog give and take?
It takes oxygen and gives of carbon dioxide, just like every other animal.
How does a frogs skin aid in respiration?
The frogs have mucus glands in their skin that secrete mucus. These mucus glands keep the frog's skin moist so that the diffusion of gases can occur. Oxygen diffuses into the frog's bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out.
Trace the path of air through the respiratory system for a frog?
Respiratory system in a frog starts from the mouth, as the mouth expands the air is taken in through the nostrils. Then the nostrils starts closing and the mouth contracts causing the air to get inside the lungs. The body and lungs contract as the mouth opens giving out carbon dioxide. The exchange of air starts at respiratory bronchioles where oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is given out.
What is the function of the integumentary system of a frog?
The function is for water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to pass through it, enabling the frog to either breathe or keep it's skin moist and keep the insides in.
What organ eliminates most of the carbon dioxide in a frog?
I believe it's still the lungs, but the skin is a huge factor as well.
What is the frog gills?
A frog's glottis has similar functions as a human; it functions as the opening of the windpipe. A frog's gullet is the equivalent of a human's throat. It connects the mouth and digestive system.
What is the respiratory system of a frog?
a frog can be classified having gills and lungs tadpoles have gills while frogs[or adult]have lungs
Is boreal toad chorus frog spotted frog tiger salamander producers?
No a producer is something that can make its own food using water sunlight and carbon dioxide which is a process called photosynthesise your talking about is/are consumers, consumers eat producers.
