Question

The organ involved in exchange of gases during hibernation in frogs is

• A. lungs
• B. integument
• C. both a and b
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B integument

In frogs, gaseous exchange occurs through lungs or skin. Exchange of gases through the lungs is called pulmonary respiration and through skin is called cutaneous respiration. During hibernation and aestivation, the gaseous exchange occurs through the skin or integument. This ensures conservation of energy which is highly essential during hibernation or aestivation.
