How does respiration through the skin occur?
This process of molecular exchange is called transpiration.
What is the medication that travels through or across the skin called?
transderma
What is the respiration of a frog?
by skin
Which animal done respiration through skin?
Amphibians
What is the importance of cellular respiration?
your skin is the most important stage of cellular respiration
What happens if the skin of a amphibian dries up?
If an amphibian's skin dries up, it can have difficulty breathing, absorbing water, and regulating its body temperature. This can lead to dehydration and put the amphibian's health at risk. Skin plays an important role in respiration and hydration for amphibians.
What is cutaneous respiration in frogs?
A frog is an amphibian, but adult frogs do not have gills. They absorb oxygen from the water through their skins, using special blood vessels. If the oxygen level in water is too low, frogs will move around to increase the water flow across the skin. Some frogs have creased skins that can increase their surface area. (see related question)
Respiration in the earthworms is possible because of?
their large surface areas of moist skin, have no any specific organ for respiration.
How does respiration work in the earthworm?
Respiration in the earthworm is fairly simple. The earthworm has moist skin and it respires through the skin surface by taking in oxygen and giving out carbon di-oxide.
What is the role of skin in respiration?
Skin plays a minor role in respiration by allowing a small amount of gas exchange to occur through diffusion. However, the majority of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in humans occurs through the respiratory system, specifically in the lungs. The skin is not the primary organ involved in respiration.
In animals that carry out respiration though the skin the skin must always be?
In animals that rely on skin for respiration, the skin must be moist. This moisture helps facilitate gas exchange by allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse through the skin. Dry skin would impede this process.
Does a leech have a respiratory system?
No, leeches do not have lungs or gills for respiration. Instead, they have specialized skin that allows them to absorb oxygen directly from the water or host they are feeding on. This process is called cutaneous respiration.
