Question

Name the animal that respires through its gills, lung, and skin also.

Answer 1

Hint: This animal belongs to the class amphibia of the phylum Chordata. They can live on land and in water also.

Complete answer:
The name of the animal that respires through its gills, lung, and skin is the frog. Its scientific name is Rana Tigrina. Respiration is a process in which oxygen is utilized for the oxidation of food in the cell. This results in the production of carbon dioxide, water, and energy. Frogs can respire through:
 Skin: It occurs when the frog is in water or under hibernation. This is respiration through the skin where dissolved oxygen diffuses with the epithelial cells and reaches the blood and carbon dioxide from blood diffuses out in the water. e.g, triton, Hyla Arbore.
Gills: At the larval stage frogs lack functional lungs but can take in dissolved oxygen from the water through a set of gills.
Lungs: respiration through the lungs occur when the frog is on land. Oxygen in the air reaches the lung through a fixed path involving external internal nares to the buccal cavity to glottis to the laryngeal-tracheal chamber to the bronchus and finally lungs. The carbon dioxide is expelled out of the body through the reverse of the same path.e.g, axolotl, triton, Hyla Arbore

Note: Frogs do not need to drink water since they absorb water through their skin.In frogspawn, frogs can lay as many as 4000 eggs. When most of a frog's body is under the water., their eyes and nose are on the top of their head so that they can breathe. Frogs have long back legs and webbed feet that help in jumping and swimming.
