Yes, frogs and toads can respire through their skin as well as through their breathing apparatus and lungs. This is very important for those living in areas where temperatures fall below freezing. This enables frogs to hibernate at the bottom of ponds and continue breathing through their skin.

What do adult frogs breathe with?

Their Answer: They breathe with their lungs because they live on land!!!!!!!!!!!! My Answer: They actually breathe through their skin, and the skin must be kept moist or it dies. That is why frogs die if you put common table salt on it. Also, most frogs live in ponds and streams, and not on land.


How do frogs breathe?

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.)


Do froglets have gills?

yes, but they can also accomplish much respiration through their skin in highly aerated water.


How do adult frogs breathe?

Adult frogs usually breathe through their skin and lungs. They absorb oxygen through their moist skin, which is rich in blood vessels, when on land. When in water, frogs rely more on their lungs for respiration, taking in oxygen from the water through specialized sac-like structures.


How do frogs breathe in water and on land?

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.
