Frogs are amphibians that exhibit dual modes of respiration depending on their environment. They possess different organs for gas exchange in water versus on land.
When submerged in water, the lungs of the frog remain inactive. Instead, the frog utilizes cutaneous respiration. The skin is moist, highly vascularized, and permeable to gases, allowing oxygen dissolved in water to diffuse directly into the blood.
Lungs are used for pulmonary respiration on land. The buccal cavity is used for buccopharyngeal respiration, and trachea is not the primary respiratory organ in amphibians.
