MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -How do amphibians breathe? Most amphibians breathe through lungs and their skin. Their skin has to stay wet in order for them to absorb oxygen so they secrete mucous to keep their skin moist (If they get too dry, they cannot breathe and will die).

Detailed explanation-2: -Amphibians like the Titicaca water frog and hellbender salamander that live in cold, fast-moving streams may be able to breathe through mainly cutaneous respiration. Cutaneous respiration allows the animal to absorb water through their skin directly into their bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-3: -The amphibians breathe through the skin because when they are under the water then they will be able to absorb the oxygen only through the skin or else due to less oxygen they will drown in the water.

Detailed explanation-4: -The species in this group include frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. All can breathe and absorb water through their very thin skin. Amphibians also have special skin glands that produce useful proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Frogs and Toads. The moist skin of frogs and toads helps them absorb oxygen. Lungless Salamander. As mentioned previously, skin breathing isn’t meant to sustain larger animals. Newts. Like frogs, newts are semiaquatic. Earthworms. Caecilians. Axolotls. Sea Urchin. Starfish. More items •28-Nov-2022
