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 else can I help you with?
Why is cutaneous respiration impossible?
Its not impossible. Many animals such as the earthworm and frog do it.
Which type of respiration is the most effective in frog?
Cutaneous respiration.
How does respiration work in the earthworm?
Respiration in the earthworm is fairly simple. The earthworm has moist skin and it respires through the skin surface by taking in oxygen and giving out carbon di-oxide.
What is the function of the buccal cavity in the earthworm?
catches insects and and does respiration.
What is cutaneous respiration of frog?
Respiration of animals in the Phylum Vertebrata, Class Amphibia, including classes such as urodela, anurans, & apodans. It involves respiration through the skin.
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)
What are the different types of respiration used by amphibians throughout their life cycles?
amphibians use several different methods of respiration depending on their species and age. 1. cutaneous respiration 2. buccopharyngeal respiration 3. pulmonary respiration 4. gill respiration
The digestive organ in which an earthworm stores food is?
Temporary storage occurs in the crop of an earthworm
Which animal done respiration through skin?
Amphibians
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.
Does dolphins depend on cutaneous respiration?
NO!!! Dolphins have lungs as do all mammals and cannot breathe through their skin. Yhey are obligate lung breathers.
Describe all the ways the earthworms are like humans?
Earthworm are like human cause they have a complete losed circulatory system. The earthworm has red blood that contains respiratory pigment similar to hemocfokin. External respiration in human must be moist and an earthworm keep its body surface.
