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.

How does a frogs skin help the frog?
A frog's skin helps to regulate its body temperature through respiration and moisture absorption. It also acts as a protective barrier against predators and helps with camouflage. Additionally, the skin secretes mucus that keeps it moist and helps with respiration.
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
What is the function of this external part of the frog?
The external part of the frog, such as its skin, is responsible for respiration, protection against pathogens, and regulation of body temperature. Additionally, the skin of a frog helps in absorbing water and nutrients.
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.
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.

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.
Is a bird more like a frog or human?

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
What is the scientific term for an African DWARF FROG'S BREATHING?
