Best Answer

Using the mouth for breathing disrupts our natural body mechanics. It can affect a number of bodily functions and lead to symptoms such as:

  • Headaches
  • Gingivitis and gum disease
  • Sore throat and cold symptoms
  • Bad breath and higher risk for cavities
  • Poor sleep-leading to chronic fatigue
  • Digestive disturbances-gas, upset stomach, acid reflux, etc.

What are the three ways of respiration in a frog?

Frogs have multiple ways to breathe. While underwater, the frog's skin grabs oxygen directly from the water. While it's on land, it uses its lungs, but unlike humans, who use the diaphragm muscle to pull air in, the frog has to puff out its throat to get the air in. This is what causes the iconic frog ribbit.
