My Amphibian Thing ^_^




This is my amphibian thing :) enjoy












The respirtory system of an amphibian:


So these amphibian type creatures have lungs. Believe it or not, thier lungs are a lot like ours. And when i say ours I mean us, you me, humans in general, well I'm human. I'm not sure about you....ok thats enough back to the point. The respirtory system is an internal, baglike organ that allows oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange between the air and the bloodstream. Although larval amphibians have gills, most adult amphibians breathe with a pair of lungs. Also many amphibians obtain oxygen through thier thin, moist skin. So there, hope you was educated on how amphibians breathe :)



The wonderful learning of the digestive system:


So when you hear amphibians, you probably think of a frog. So we will stick with a frog. In the digstive system of a frog well they have a tounge right? Ok anyway they use that tounge to catch thier pray and eat them. Well swallow them whole. Then the food that they have ate is then processed into the mouth. Then eaten by, well not even eaten chewed by the teeth. Yes they have teeth. But yeah the food ventures into the stomache, through the intestine, and out of the cloaca. It is very similar to the human digestive system if you think about it. By all means it soundfs the same but to me the only difference is the cloaca, and our butt holes.




Reproduction in frickin frogs:



Like most living amphibians, frogs depend on the presence of water to complete thier life cycle. Thier little circle of trust :) anyway the chick will release her deamon babies....haha just kidding, but the female will release her eggs into the water. After the eggs are laid, the manly frog will come by and fertalize them externally. After a few days, the fertalized eggs will hatch into swimming. They then are fish like larval forms called tadpoles. These tadpole babies breathe through thier gills, and feed mostly on algae
