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.

What is a respirtory system?

The respiratory system is the organ system responsible for bringing oxygen into the body and removing carbon dioxide from the body. It includes structures such as the lungs, trachea, bronchi, and diaphragm. The primary function of the respiratory system is to facilitate gas exchange between the body and the environment.


What conditions are necessary for respiration?

Adequate warmth and moisture levels, as well as the required oxygen and glucose. In an animal, health may also affect the functionality of respiration.


What is the adaptive advantage of having a tracheal system rather than respiring through the skin?

Having a tracheal system allows for more efficient gas exchange and the ability to control the rate of respiration. This system also helps to prevent water loss through evaporation, especially in dry environments. Overall, a tracheal system provides a higher surface area for gas exchange and better protection against environmental challenges compared to relying solely on skin respiration.
