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)


Can we call earthworm respiration as cutaneous respiration?

Yes, earthworm respiration is referred to as cutaneous respiration because they exchange gases directly through their skin. Their skin must remain moist to facilitate the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide, as they lack specialized respiratory organs like lungs or gills. This process allows them to absorb oxygen from the environment and release carbon dioxide efficiently.

What are two ways that respiration occurs in the adult frog?

Adult frogs primarily respire through two methods: cutaneous respiration and pulmonary respiration. Cutaneous respiration involves the exchange of gases through their skin, which must remain moist to facilitate this process. Additionally, frogs use pulmonary respiration by inhaling and exhaling air through their lungs, especially during periods of activity or when more oxygen is needed. This dual method allows frogs to efficiently meet their metabolic demands in various environments.
