Do Amphibians Breathe Through Lungs
With some amphibians, it appears that they can breathe underwater, when in fact they are holding their breath!
Do amphibians breathe through lungs. Most adult amphibians breathe through lungs and/or through their skin. Animals that breathe with their lungs can come from all over the world and live in many different types of environments, ranging from the highest of mountain tops to the lowest jungles. Oxygen from the air or water can pass through the moist skin of amphibians to enter the blood.
Not all amphibians can breathe underwater. Reptiles do not have a larval stage like amphibians. Their lungs are powerful, and muscular with more surface area for gas exchange.
Some species of salamander lack lungs and breathe eaither through their skin or through gills. To breathe using lungs they use their nostrils and mouth to intake oxygenated air by inspiration. They use the oxygen dissolved in water.
They can also pump air into their primitive lungs using their mouth or throat to force it down.)through their noseyes they do. No because adult amphibians is breathe from lungs and young amphibian breathe through gills by:magno,jhon christopher what role does an amphibians skin play? No matter how big or small the mammal is, they always use their lungs to inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.
They have gills and lungs. Breathe in a similar way to other amphibians. All reptiles are known to respire through their lungs.
Amphibians lay eggs in water, not on land, and their eggs are soft, with no hard shell. With the exception of a few frog species that lay eggs on land, all amphibians begin life as completely aquatic larvae. 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).
