Humans cannot breathe through their skin because they are large organisms. Smaller organisms, such as frogs or flatworms, are able to absorb oxygen through their skin because the oxygen doesn't have to travel fr from the surface of the skin. It also has to do with the fact that human skin isn't as moist as the skin of frogs, etc., and moist skin is required for transdermal breathing.
through gills
cutaneous
Humans primarily use the lungs for breathing. The air is drawn into the lungs through the trachea, which then branches into the bronchi and bronchioles where gas exchange takes place. The diaphragm muscle helps to expand and contract the lungs during breathing.
Well, wolves ( all mammals ) use their lungs. Just like humans. Where as fish use gills!
Diffusion is the process animals with thin skin use for gas exchange, where gases move from areas of high concentration to low concentration across a membrane. This allows oxygen to enter the body and carbon dioxide to exit, facilitating respiration.
No, human skin is not a respiratory organ. The primary respiratory organs in humans are the lungs, where gas exchange takes place between the air we breathe and our circulatory system. While skin plays a role in helping regulate body temperature and eliminate some waste products, it is not directly involved in the process of respiration.
Frogs uses respiratory surfaces which totals to three to exchange gases on its surroundings. The three respiratory surfaces are the skin, its lungs, and the lining of their mouth.
Toads breathe through their skin with whats called cutaneous gas exchange. They also have lungs for when they're out and about, but when in hibernation or submerged in water, they just use their skin.
They use their blowhole
because the frogs skin is served as a supplementary organ of gas exchange frogs use their tiny little lungs to breath when they are on land. so if they had huge lungs then they would just be in the way because the whole part of the lung was not in need! :D
Oxygen is not exchanged directly through the body surface in humans because our skin is not specialized for efficient gas exchange like the respiratory system. The respiratory system, with organs like lungs and specialized structures like alveoli, is more suited for rapid and effective oxygen exchange needed for sustaining complex human physiology.
Some lower-order animals can also exchange gases through their skin. Frogs, for instance, when they bury themselves in the mud over the winter.
