Do frogs have two lungs?


Open in App
Solution

Lungs in frogs:

  1. The lung is one of two organs in the chest that eliminates carbon dioxide from the body and provides oxygen to it.
  2. Frogs have only one set of lungs, which disappear at birth and grow later in life.
  3. The skin and buccopharyngeal cavity provide most of the respiratory needs.
  4. The lungs function only when there is an extreme need for oxygen.
  5. The lungs of frogs have thinner walls and resemble balloons. When swimming, they frequently inflate their lungs to help them stay buoyant.
  6. No, frogs do not have two lungs.
