Amphibians Breathe With Lungs. Even though most terrestrial vertebrates depend on lungs for breathing, lissamphibians also present cutaneous respiration, they breathe through their skin. As they grow older, their bodies undergo changes called metamorphosis.
To exchange gases, terrestrial reptiles depend on their lungs. In these animals, the lungs and the skin both play a vital role to carry out the process of respiration. Their lungs are powerful, and muscular with more surface area for gas exchange.
Mature frogs breathe mainly with lungs and also exchange gas with the environment through the skin.
To breathe through their skin, the skin must stay moist/wet. Breathing in amphibians amphibians are the vertebrates that survive in a moist environment. Most amphibians breathe with lungs and through their skin. They live underwater and breathe through gills at one stage of their life, and live on land breathing through lungs at another stage.
