There are millions of air sacs in each of your lungs. Each air sac is made up of tiny hollow bubbles called alveoli, and so there is a very big surface for gases to get into and out of the blood.The inside of each air sac is moist.The gas dissolves in the moisture, then passes through the air sac wall.This is very much like a frog as they use there skin to absorb moiture and turn them into gases for breathing.

What do frogs use to breathe?
Frogs have lungs to breathe air like humans, but they also have a unique respiratory system that allows them to absorb oxygen through their skin when underwater. This is why frogs can stay submerged for extended periods of time without needing to come up for air.
Do froglets have gills?
yes, but they can also accomplish much respiration through their skin in highly aerated water.
How do frogs breathe?
Frogs are amphibians. They can breathe using their lungs* on land, or absorb oxygen through their skins when underwater (this is called cutaneous respiration). Lacking diaphragm muscles, frogs on land may be said to "swallow" air : they inhale air through their nostrils, inflating skin sacs in their throats, then press down with the mouth muscles to force it into the lungs. (*At least one very rare species of frogs lacks lungs altogether, relying exclusively on absorption through the skin.)
How do frogs breathe in water and on land?
frogs breathe through there skins. but the frog has lungs but no ribs! They don't. Frogs can hold their breath for a very long time but they still have to come to the surface to breath air.They don't, they hold their breath like we do, they can just do it a long time. During their tadpole stage, they breathe under water through their skin, using internal gills. When they mature into frogs, they develop lungs and then can only breathe air using their lungs.
Why do frogs need to keep hydrated?
Frogs needs to absorb water into their skin when they get too warm because they have the same temperature as the air and the water.
How do frogs ventilate their lungs?
Frogs breathe just like humans, taking in air through their mouths and exhaling it. They are also able to breathe through their skin.

Can frogs breath air through there skin?
No because it is not a fish it is a mammal.
How do frogs survive on water and on land?
They survive because their skin accepts very readily air and water.
Why do frogs live in hot places?
Frogs do not live in hot places... they live in humid or moist places. They need to do this because without moist air OR just plain water, their skin will dry out. Now, when our skin is dry, we just put on lotion! But frogs partially breathe through their skin. When their skin dries out, they cannot breathe and will likely die. :( Poor frogs!
How do frogs breathe out air from lungs?
Actually frogs dont breathe from their lungs. They have lungs but they don't use them because their skin is so thin that they can breathe from it.
How are the frogs air sacs similar and different from human lungs?
human lungs help us breath in the air. while frog lungs hold air in so they can swim longer than humans. frogs can breathe through their lungs. we can't

Does a frog have any air sacs?
Frogs do not have air sacs like birds do. Instead, they possess lungs for respiration, which are less efficient than avian air sacs but sufficient for their needs. Frogs can also absorb oxygen through their skin, allowing them to breathe while submerged in water. This dual respiratory system is essential for their survival in various environments.
How do you keep frogs from climbing into air conditioners Or keep them from climbing the walls to the air conditioner?
Why not cover the air-conditioner vent with fine wire mesh. It'll still function properly, but nothing will be able to get in.
How do gases flow through frogs?
Gases flow through frogs primarily via their skin and lungs. Frogs have permeable skin that allows for the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide directly into and out of their bloodstream, which is especially important when they are underwater. Additionally, frogs use their lungs to breathe air, inhaling through their nostrils and forcing it into their lungs by closing their mouths and contracting their throat muscles. This combination of skin and lung respiration enables frogs to efficiently exchange gases in various environments.
