ORGANS FOR BREATHING
• Different types of animals have different organs for breathing.
1. Lungs:
Figure 10: Human lungs
• An adult frog breathes through its lungs on land and it breathes through its moist skin in water.
• Birds, reptiles, and mammals also breathe through lungs.
2. Gills:
Figure 11: Fish have gills for breathing
• Fishes, tadpoles (baby frog), oysters, prawns and crabs breathe through gills.
3. Spiracles:
