In humans, air is inhaled through the nostrils or mouth, travels through the pharynx, larynx, trachea, and

bronchi, and eventually reaches the lungs. The lungs are the primary respiratory organs in humans,
where the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) takes place.

In frogs, air is inhaled through the nostrils and mouth and enters the buccal cavity. From there, it passes
through the glottis, which leads to the lungs and also to air sacs located in the frog's body. The lungs of a
frog are relatively simple structures, consisting of two small sacs that are attached to the dorsal side of
the body cavity.

While both frogs and humans have airways that lead to respiratory organs, the structures and functions
of these organs are quite different. In humans, the lungs are complex and highly specialized, while in
frogs, the lungs are relatively simple and are supplemented by cutaneous respiration (gas exchange
through the skin).
