Toads exhibit a unique method of respiration known as buccal respiration, where they use their mouth to facilitate gas exchange. When a toad opens its mouth, it lowers the floor of its buccal cavity, allowing air to flow in. The toad then closes its mouth and raises the floor, pushing the air into the lungs for oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide expulsion. This method is particularly important when the toad is underwater or in moist environments, complementing cutaneous respiration through their skin.
