Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Buccal pumping is the process by which frogs use their oral cavity to move air into and out of their lungs. If a frog loses the ability to undergo this process, it must compensate by increasing the exchange of gases through its skin, which is known as cutaneous respiration. This is because the skin of frogs is thin, moist, and highly vascularized, which allows them to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The other answer choices do not relate to the loss of buccal pumping.
