    The document describes the respiratory structures of frogs. It explains that frogs use their thin, permeable and moist skin to exchange gases when inactive. It also details that when active, frogs use their folded lungs which have a thin membrane and rich blood supply to facilitate gas exchange through diffusion and dissolution of gases.

    The frog respiratory structure and its adaptations


    Skin
    skin
    lungs
    In an inactive state, the frog uses its skin for gaseous
    exchange (Figure 8.3).
    • The skin is thin and highly permeable to respiratory
    gases.
    • The moist skin allows respiratory gases to dissolve in
    it.
    • Beneath the skin, there are many networks of blood
    capillaries to transport respiratory gases.

    Lungs

    • The surface of the lungs is folded to increase the total surface area

    of frogs
    • The thin lung membrane eases the diffusion of respiratory gases.
    • The moist lung walls enable respiratory gases to dissolve in them.
    • The lungs are also rich with a network of blood capillaries to
    transport respiratory gases.
