In the adult frog gaseous exchange takes place in the
buccal cavity, skin and lungs
buccal cavity, skin and spiracles
gills, skin and buccal cavity
tympanic membrane, lungs and gills
설명
The frog uses the buccal cavity (mouth-throat) to pump air into the lungs. The floor of the mouth is lowered, drawing air in through the nostrils, and then raised, forcing air into the lungs. Frogs can also breathe through their skin, which is thin and moist, allowing for efficient gas exchange.
