All living organism perform the process of respiration ,but there is a different way for the performance of respiration process in all living organism. Human have differ organs for breathing while plants use different way to perform respiration .
Now how do the animal respire? The animal respire according to their atmosphere and habitat .For ex :The fish respire through gills because it live in water and The frog respire through skin and lungs because it live on land as well as water .Like this various animal respire through lungs ex :Dog ,cat , leopard , giraffe , elephant and all big animals which live on land .
For respiration animals have variant organs too i.e , some animals have lungs ,some animals have skin while some animals have tracheal system .The process is also depends on the respiratory organ of that animal .some animals and the respiration process is as follow ,
1) Respiration in fishes:
Fishes live in water so it don’t have lungs to respire .Then which organs did fish have ? Fish have gills to respire .The oxygenated water enters from the mouth of fish , then it filter out oxygen from it by gills and the filter oxygen is taken by blood tissue while the deoxygenated water from fish body thrown out from gills to outside.
2) Respiration in frog :
Frogs live in water as well as land so it is able to respire through skin as well as lungs .When it is on land it respire through lungs with the help of nostrils and mouth. When it is present in water it respire through skin ,the oxygen from outer atmosphere enters into skin pores and mixed with blood at the same time the carbon dioxide from body gets out by skin pore that’s why the frog has sticky and glossy body as it exchange gases.
3) Respiration in grasshopper :
Grasshopper is insect and insects have specialized respiratory system i.e tracheal system. The spiracle which pore like is present on grass allows oxygen to enter into tracheal system. The tracheal system is pipe line like structured through which oxygen passed and reached to blood and mixed with it at the same time the carbon dioxide from blood passed out through tracheal system and thrown out from the body of grasshopper .In this way the interchange of gases is continued.
