Lab: Respiratory System of Frog Flashcards
is a form of respiration in which gas exchange occurs across the skin or outer integument of the frog rather than the lungs.
Cutaneous repiration
What do you call winter sleep?
hibernation
What do you call summer sleep?
aestivation
where does mouth respiration occurs?
buccopharyngeal cavity
consists of mucous membrane and rich supplied with blood capillaries
buccal cavity
Two phases of respiratory mechanism
inspiration and expiration
takes place at the buccopharyngeal cavity
bucco-pharyngeal respiration
consists of moist mucus membrane and richly supplied with blood capillaries
buccal cavity
is a slender ring surrounding the larynx
cricoid cartilage
how do frogs croak?
breathing then closing its nostrils
what epithelium covers the inner surface of alveoli
single layer of epithelial cells
The breathing that takes place on land in the atmospheric air by the help of lung
pulmonary respiration
median-slit like glottis on the floor of pharynx opening into the larynx
laryngo-tracheal chamber
is a small sac whose walls are supported by two arytenoid and one cricoid cartilages
larynx
what includes the respiratory tract
external nostrils, nasal chambers, internal nostrils, bucco-pharyngeal cavity, glottis, laryngo-tracheal chamber, and pair of bronchi.
many chambers of lungs
alveoli
how do air enters and leaves the lungs
respiratory tract
what other type of organ is the lungs of the frog that enables them to float in whater.
hydrostatic organ
