ANSWER: If you are asking about respiration, the simple answer to your question is that it doesn't refuse carbon dioxide. When a frog inhales, it breathes whatever is in the air around it. Since normally there is almost no carbon dioxide in the air (less than 0.1%) the frog inhales almost no carbon dioxide. The blood circulating through the lungs quickly absorbs the oxygen out of the lungs and into blood stream while discharging the carbon dioxide in the blood stream back into the lungs. When the frog exhales, it releases the carbon dioxide from the blood back into the air where it quickly diffuses into the air surrounding the frog. Then the cycle repeats.

What two gases are exchanged across the lining of a frog's mouth?

Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged across the lining of a frog's mouth. Oxygen is absorbed from the air into the blood vessels, while carbon dioxide is released into the air from the blood vessels.


How does the design of a human red blood cell fit its function?

The biconcave shape of a red blood cell provides a large surface area for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. The lack of a nucleus allows for more space to carry hemoglobin, which binds to oxygen for transport. This design enables efficient nutrient exchange and oxygen delivery throughout the body.


What is the function of the frog blood cell?

To carry oxygen to the frog's body cells.


How does frog respire during hibernation?

During hibernation, frogs have very low metabolic rates, which reduces the need for oxygen. They absorb oxygen through their skin and membranes in the mouth, while releasing carbon dioxide. Their respiration slows down significantly to conserve energy during hibernation.


Why is the skin of frog always moist?

Skin is the respiratory organ in frogs. A thin water film is formed on the skin of frog and to retain this thin film of water for long time, mucus is produced by the mucus glands present in the skin. The O2 gets dissolved into this thin film of water from where it gets diffused into the blood capillaries. And this is the reason, why the skin of frog is richly supplied with blood capillaries. If the skin of frog dries up, the frog dies. The frogs also have lungs but 80% of respiration takes place through the skin. So, frogs have two respiratory organs 1) Skin 2) Lungs.

What is the function of the mucus on a frog's body?

To aid in the diffusion of oxygen into the body and carbon dioxide out of the body


How is the frog's skin adapted to the water?

A frog's skin is permeable, this means it lets water in and out. Frog skins also let oxygen pass in and carbon dioxide pass out.


What is the function of the frog's respiratory system?

It absorbs oxygen while at the same time releases carbon dioxide across its surface.


What gases does the northern leopard frog give and take?

It takes oxygen and gives of carbon dioxide, just like every other animal.


How does a frogs skin aid in respiration?

The frogs have mucus glands in their skin that secrete mucus. These mucus glands keep the frog's skin moist so that the diffusion of gases can occur. Oxygen diffuses into the frog's bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out.


Trace the path of air through the respiratory system for a frog?

Respiratory system in a frog starts from the mouth, as the mouth expands the air is taken in through the nostrils. Then the nostrils starts closing and the mouth contracts causing the air to get inside the lungs. The body and lungs contract as the mouth opens giving out carbon dioxide. The exchange of air starts at respiratory bronchioles where oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is given out.


What is the function of the integumentary system of a frog?

The function is for water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to pass through it, enabling the frog to either breathe or keep it's skin moist and keep the insides in.


What organ eliminates most of the carbon dioxide in a frog?

I believe it's still the lungs, but the skin is a huge factor as well.


What is the frog gills?

A frog's glottis has similar functions as a human; it functions as the opening of the windpipe. A frog's gullet is the equivalent of a human's throat. It connects the mouth and digestive system.

How does the respiratory and circulatory system work together in a frog?

In frogs, the respiratory system involves the exchange of gases through their moist skin and lungs. The circulatory system works to transport oxygen absorbed by the respiratory system to various tissues in the body and remove carbon dioxide. The two systems work together by ensuring that oxygen is delivered to the cells and carbon dioxide is removed efficiently.
