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.

cutaneous gas exchange
Yes, frogs can absorb oxygen through their skin in addition to breathing through their lungs. This process, known as cutaneous respiration, allows them to take in oxygen while underwater or in environments with low oxygen levels.
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.)
They shed their skin then they eat it
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.
Cutaneous respiration.
cutaneous gas exchange
Its not impossible. Many animals such as the earthworm and frog do it.
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
Yes, frogs can absorb oxygen through their skin in addition to breathing through their lungs. This process, known as cutaneous respiration, allows them to take in oxygen while underwater or in environments with low oxygen levels.
Respiration of animals in the Phylum Vertebrata, Class Amphibia, including classes such as urodela, anurans, & apodans. It involves respiration through the skin.
Fully developed frogs will have lungs. During the tadpole stage they can breath under water. Good luck. frog's do have lung's because they are called amphibian's for a reason cause they can live in water and on land but during the tadpole stage they have gills like a fish which mean's they take the oxegyn out of the water .
amphibians use several different methods of respiration depending on their species and age. 1. cutaneous respiration 2. buccopharyngeal respiration 3. pulmonary respiration 4. gill respiration
Frogs primarily use their skin to absorb oxygen from the environment through a process called cutaneous respiration. They also have buccal pumping, where they use their throat muscles to push air into their lungs. Additionally, frogs can absorb a small amount of oxygen through their mouth lining while keeping their mouths closed.
Unlike mammals who absorb oxygen through the alveolar in their lungs, frogs are able to use their skin as a surface for gas exchange. The capillaries carry oxygen poor blood underneath the skin so that the oxygen in the air or water will be transported into the blood.
pulmonary
NO!!! Dolphins have lungs as do all mammals and cannot breathe through their skin. Yhey are obligate lung breathers.
