During summer sleep and winter sleep in frogs, the gaseous exchange takes place:
1. Across the alveoli in the lungs.
2. Through the moist buccal mucosa.
3. In the gills.
4. Through the skin.
1. | Lower invertebrates like sponges, coelenterates, flatworms, etc., exchange O2 with CO2 by simple diffusion over their entire body surface. |
2. | Earthworms use their moist cuticle as respiratory surface. |
3. | Insects have a network of tubes (tracheal tubes) to transport atmospheric air within the body. |
4. | All vertebrates use lungs as respiratory organs. |
Statement I: | The outer pleural membrane is in close contact with the thoracic lining. |
Statement II: | The inner pleural membrane is in contact with the lung surface. |
Statement III: | The part starting with the external nostrils up to the terminal bronchioles constitutes the respiratory or exchange part of the respiratory system. |
Statement IV: | The alveoli and their ducts form the conducting part of the respiratory system. |
