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.

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)


How do adult frogs breathe?

Adult frogs usually breathe through their skin and lungs. They absorb oxygen through their moist skin, which is rich in blood vessels, when on land. When in water, frogs rely more on their lungs for respiration, taking in oxygen from the water through specialized sac-like structures.


How is the transport system of a plant similar to the transport system of a frog?

Both plants and frogs have transport systems that move substances throughout their bodies. In plants, water and nutrients are transported through xylem and phloem vessels, while in frogs, blood circulates through blood vessels. Both systems are essential for delivering necessary materials and removing waste.


How does blood move in the circulatory system of a land amphibian?

Frogs have a heart and blood vessels like all other vertebrates. The heart pumps deoxygenated blood from the body to the lungs, and then pumps oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body. However, frogs only have a three chambered heart, which permits oxygen rich and oxygen poor blood to mix. This is less effecient than the four chambered hearts of mammals and birds.


How does a frog's blood circulate?

A tadpole's circulatory system has one loop and a 2 chamber heart. Oxygen-poor blood goes to the heart from the blood vessels in the body. Then the oxygen-poor blood goes up from the heart through blood vessels in the lungs. Next it comes out as oxygen-rich blood and goes back to the heart. Finally the oxygen-rich blood goes into the blood vessels in the body.


How do tadpols respire?

Tadpoles respire through gills, which are rich in blood vessels that allow for the exchange of gases with the surrounding water. As they mature into frogs, they develop lungs and begin to breathe air.
