When air enters into the mouth through the internal nostrils. Air is drawn in by lowering of the floor of the mouth and then the floor is raised, causing the air to be forced out of the mouth. Valves in the external nostrils prevent the air from being forced back outside, and it is forced into the lungs.
Frogs breathe by gulping air into their mouth and then closing their mouth and nares (nostrils). They then lift up their lower jaw and tongue to make the space inside their mouth very small. This increases the pressure of the air inside their mouth and the air moves from the mouth (high pressure) to the lungs (low pressure). Air always moves from areas of high to low pressure.
Breathing out is passive (i.e. doesn't require energy) and the the high elasticity of the frogs body wall helps push the air out of the body.

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.
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.)
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.
The color of frog's lungs are a purplish brown.
yes, but they can also accomplish much respiration through their skin in highly aerated water.
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.

lungs maybe? -____-
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
Frogs do not have a diaphragm so they use their throats to pump air into their lungs. This is most noticable when they are croaking.
No. They are air breathing reptiles who have to surface to breathe.

Frogs breathe just like humans, taking in air through their mouths and exhaling it. They are also able to breathe through their skin.
Amphibians as larvea or tadpoles use gills to obtain oxygen. They then go into a metamorphic stage where they have both gills and developing lungs, and as adult they breath through lungs as we do.
Most frogs have lungs, but their are lungless frogs. They can also breath thru their skin.
