Frog larvae, also known as tadpoles, breathe through gills, as they are aquatic. As tadpoles metamorphose into adult frogs, they begin to breathe through lungs. The lungs of frogs aren’t well-developed, so frogs also breathe through their skin. A frog’s croaking may be annoying, but to ...
Frogs and humans have many comparable body systems, including the respiratory system. Both use their lungs to take in oxygen and expel waste gasses like carbon dioxide. There are differences in the way they breathe, and in the way frogs supplement their oxygen intake through their skin. Understa...

An African dwarf frog can hold its breath for four to seven hours. These frogs stay underwater, so they have to hold their breath underwater. They come to the water’s surface only for short intervals to breathe air. This is because they have lungs and not gills. The scientific name of...
Some clones have been born with defective hearts, lung problems, diabetes, blood vessel complications and malfunctioning immune systems. One of the more famous cases involved a cloned sheep that was born but suffered from chronic hyperventilation caused by malformed arteries leading to the lungs. ...
More and more Americans are reading their own credit report. Credit reports are (36) by lenders to decide how frisky it would be to offer a loan or credit to an individual. The report holds informati...
Normally, turtles use their lungs to breathe. However, they spend their winters submerged at the bottom of frozen lakes and ponds. So how do they get the oxygen they need? Midland Painted Turtle atBonnechere Provincial Park See, a turtle’s body temperature changes with its environment. At ...
Some of the great hopes for cloning include the utility to perform transplants, whenever they are needed, using cloned organs. For example, people with lung cancer may simply have their lungs replaced with healthy ones. Scientists also look forward to the day when people in wheelchairs can walk...
Snakes do not have a diaphragm like people do, so they circulate air in and out of the lungs by narrowing the rib cage to push air out and then widening it again to create a vacuum to suck air in. After each breathing cycle, snakes experience apnea -- a stop in breathing -- that ...
If you wanted to draw a diagram of frog anatomy you might be surprised at how many parts there are in that little amphibian. Frogs live on land most of the time, but they are amphibians because they are born in the water, female frogs lay their eggs underwater, and they start their ...
