The frog gets oxygen through its lungs just as we do. It can also absorb it through the skin and the mouth lining. Overall the surface area of the skin wouldn't be enough to absorb enough oxygen to supply all the cells of the body. However, absorption through the skin is very useful when the frog is under water.
What else can I help you with?
Can frogs absorb oxygen through their skin?
Yes. They can also absorb moisture through their skin.
Is it true that an amphibian can exchange gas through its skin?
Frogs can exchange a little oxygen through their skin.
How do frogs obtain oxygen underwater?
Frogs obtain oxygen underwater through their skin. They have specialized skin that allows them to absorb oxygen directly from the water, which helps them breathe while submerged.
How do frogs respire?
Frogs respire through a combination of lungs and skin. They absorb oxygen through their skin when underwater and use their lungs when on land. They rely more on their skin for respiration when submerged.
Why do frogs have thin and moist skin?
It is thin because oxygen is past through it.
Where do Frogs obtain oxygen for cellular respiration through?
Lungs and moist skin.
7 Why are blood vessels so close to the frogs sub surface skin?
The frog's skin has many small blood vessels so that oxygen can go through the thin skin, through the fine blood vessels, and into the blood stream, allowing for the frog to breathe more easily.
Why are frogs able to function with small lungs?
Frogs have a highly efficient respiratory system that allows them to absorb oxygen through their skin and utilize their buccal pumping mechanism to circulate air through their lungs. This combination of adaptations allows frogs to thrive despite having relatively small lungs.
Do frogs breath through their skin?
Yes, frogs can absorb oxygen through their skin in addition to breathing through their lungs. This process, known as cutaneous respiration, allows them to take in oxygen while underwater or in environments with low oxygen levels.
How much oxygen does a frog absorb daily through skin?
Frogs absorb approximately 20-25% of their oxygen requirement through their skin, which helps supplement their breathing through their lungs. This ability is particularly important when frogs are submerged in water or hibernating.
How do Most adult amphibians obtain oxygen?
Most adult amphibians use a combination of lungs and gas exchange through the skin to breathe. In order for gas exchange to occur through the skin, the amphibian's skin must be moist. Some amphibians use gills or a special lining of the mouth to obtain oxygen.
Why can frogs breathe through their skin but fish can't?
Fish can only stay alive "under and in" water. Frogs are amphibious which means they can live both in and out of the water, because they absorb oxygen through their skin. I'm hoping that's what you were asking.
