Frogs have multiple ways to breathe. While underwater, the frog's skin grabs oxygen directly from the water. While it's on land, it uses its lungs, but unlike humans, who use the diaphragm muscle to pull air in, the frog has to puff out its throat to get the air in. This is what causes the iconic frog ribbit.

A frog can obtain oxygen through the pores on its skin, it's mouth, and it's legs. It has functional lungs and an extensive network of oxygen absorbing capillaries that permit it to hibernate under water.

The three ways in which respiration occurs in an adult frog are through its moist skin, lungs, and the respiratory surface in the lining of its mouth. Although these are the three forms of gas exchange in an adult frog, a tadpole frog that lacks lungs uses its gills to take in oxygen.
Cutaneous respiration-breathing through the skin, which is kept moist for this exact purpose
Pulmonary respiration-breathing through the lungs
Buccale (not sure how to spell this)- breathing through the lining of the mouth (gas exchange

How do the lungs of a frog differ from those of the pig?
The lungs of a pig is larger and more evolved than that of a frog. This is because the frog has other organs of respiration apart from the lungs e.g the skin (cutaneous respiration) and mouth(buccal respiration) hence does not depend on the lungs solely for respiration unlike the pig which has thev lung as its only respiratory organ
How is the transport system of a plant similar to the transport system of a frog?
Both have the cellular respiration
Frogs accessory structures in the nose?
Frogs have no proper nose. However, they do have nostrils which are an accessory structure for respiration since frog rely on buccal pumping (breathing with the cheeks) for respiration.
What are the two main organs of a frog's respiratory system?
Cutaneous Respiration - skino The gaseous exchange between the skin of the frog and the external environment -water and air.o The skin of the frog is supplied with blood capillaries.o The skin contains glands called the cutaneous glands, which secrete mucous. This keeps the skin always moist and retains a thin film of water underneath the surface of the skin. This condition enables the exchange of air between the blood vessels and the outside environment. They also resort to cutaneous respiration when they undergo either hibernation or aestivation.Buccal Respiration - moutho When the frog floats on the surface of water or while resting on land they respire through the buccal cavity.o Atmospheric air is sucked in through the nasal openings when the floor of buccal cavity is lowered.o In the same manner the air is send out when the cavity rises.o The alternate lowering and rising of the buccal cavity, buccal respiration is bought about.o The buccal respiratory system of the frog accounts for 5% of the oxygen intake.Pulmonary Respiration - lungso This type of respiration comprises of: the nasal cavity, buccal cavity, larynx, trachea, a pair of lungs and the alveoli inside them.o The adult frog has very simple, pinkish, sac like organs called lungs. They are not well developed and are placed in the anterior of the frog's body.o The numerous sac like structures inside the lung called the alveoli are richly supplied with blood capillaries.o Pulmonary respiration accounts for 65% of total oxygen intake.
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)
What is the respiration of a frog?
by skin
Which type of respiration is the most effective in frog?
Cutaneous respiration.

Why is cutaneous respiration impossible?
Its not impossible. Many animals such as the earthworm and frog do it.
What is cutaneous respiration of frog?
Respiration of animals in the Phylum Vertebrata, Class Amphibia, including classes such as urodela, anurans, & apodans. It involves respiration through the skin.

Does a frog have gills to breath underwater and lungs to breath on land?
Frogs have cutaneous type of respiration i.e respiration through skin.Some species have lungs,but very rare in occurence.To know practically,take a frog and cover it completely by a blotting paper.After some time the frog dies
