I don't know for sure, but my educated guess is that oxygen does not diffuse through the skin. If it did diffuse through the skin then we probably wouldn't have lungs since we would just absorb it through our skin.
Substances that are small, nonpolar, and uncharged will diffuse through a membrane easily. This includes gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as small lipophilic molecules. Larger or charged molecules may require assistance from transport proteins to cross the membrane.
Oxygen can diffuse into a unicellular organism through its cell membrane. The organism utilizes this oxygen for cellular respiration to produce energy.
As the bilayer contains hydrophobic fatty acid tails, water-soluble molecules cannot diffuse directly through. However, lipid soluble molecules such as oxygen can diffuse directly through. Overall, for a molecule to be able to diffuse directly through it must be lipid-soluble, relatively small and non-polar.
The substances flow from high concentration to low concentration through channels found in the cell membrane. Basically like a bridge.
water
Earthworms breath through their skin, earthworms diffuse oxygen through a network of thin-walled capillaries which are found just under the skin.
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.
yes
Oxygen (O2)
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are moved to and from body tissues via the circulatory system. These materials diffuse through the cell membrane, and then diffuse through the capillary wall into or out of the bloodstream.
alveoli
The humorus

No, its just some reptiles that obtain oxygen through their skin. Many of them breath through their lungs.

Oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse into and out of cells through the cell membrane. Oxygen is required for cellular respiration while carbon dioxide is a waste product that needs to be removed from the cell.
