Respiration in frogso Tadpoles use gills

to respire.o Frogs don't have

gills and they have to use another factors for respiration such as:◦Skin◦Lungs◦Lining of mouth

This is called as cutaneous respiration in frog.

This is an secondary respiratory system.

Cutaneous respiration in

frogs

Cutaneous respiration occurs while frog is in hibernation (winter sleep) or completely submerged.

Frogs must keep their skin moist to allow efficient respiration through skin.

Frog skin has mucus glands which secrete mucus onto the surface of skin when they are out of water.

The oxygen is absorbed from water through skin using special blood vessels.

conclusionFrogs are common animals we see around us.

But they are special because they live both in land and water.

Frogs can live in water though they are not having gills because of cutaneous respiration.

Cutaneous respiration is nothing but respiration through skin in water.
