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.

What are frogs covered in?

Frogs are covered in skin that is typically smooth and moist. Some frogs may have rough or bumpy skin, depending on the species. Their skin provides protection from predators and helps with respiration.

by having a zygote


Do frogs have scales?

Where do Frogs obtain oxygen for cellular respiration through?

Lungs and moist 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)


How do frogs respire?

Frogs respire through a combination of lungs and skin. They absorb oxygen through their skin when underwater and use their lungs when on land. They rely more on their skin for respiration when submerged.


Do frogs have Pharyngeal Pouches?

Yes, frogs have pharyngeal pouches, which are structures in their throat that aid in respiration. These pouches play a role in the exchange of gases during breathing.


What respiration in frogs do humans not use?

frogs use their skin for their respiration (since it is filled with capillaries). For most amphibians, 90% of their respiration is done through their skin. Frogs can also breath through the lining in their mouth which also contains capillaries, so a large amount of gas exchange can take place there. Frogs are able to breath through a pair of lungs as well, though this is used as more of a back up.


What is the function of mucous on the frogs skin?

Frogs are very easily dehydrated and need to keep their skin moist permanently. To support this the hydrophyle (waterbinding) mucus is sectreted.


Which glands lubricate the frogs skin?

Frogs have mucous glands in their skin that secrete mucus, which helps to keep their skin moist and lubricated. This is vital for their respiration, as frogs absorb oxygen through their skin, and it also aids in preventing dehydration. Additionally, some frogs have poison glands that can secrete toxins as a defense mechanism. The combination of these glands plays a crucial role in the frog's survival in its environment.


Can frogs get dandruff?

Frogs do not get dandruff in the same way that mammals do because they have a different type of skin. Their skin is permeable and plays a crucial role in respiration and hydration. While frogs can experience skin issues like shedding or fungal infections, these are not equivalent to dandruff. Therefore, while they can have skin problems, they do not develop dandruff as seen in furry animals.


Why does the respiration system of frogs differs from mammals because frogs?

Frogs have underdeveloped lungs, so they must have a moist skin so that oxygen can diffuse into their bodies. Their lungs do not function well enough to be used on their own.
