Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Terrestrial vertebrates such as amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals have well-developed respiratory systems with lungs. Frogs swallow air into their lungs, where oxygen diffuses into the blood to join with hemoglobin in the red blood cells. Amphibians can also exchange gases through their skin.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lungs and respiratory system allow us to breathe. They bring oxygen into our bodies (called inspiration, or inhalation) and send carbon dioxide out (called expiration, or exhalation). This exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is called respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gills are tissues made up of feathery structures called gill filaments providing a large surface area for exchange of gases. A large surface area is crucial for gas exchange in aquatic organisms as water contains very little amount of dissolved oxygen.
