Through
Hello everyone,
I'm not mastered with English... that's why my question arise.
My problem is with " breathe through" (without object).

Frogs breathe through their skin
not trouble anyone.
What about these two expressions:
Especially second one.
Which phrase I can use for substituting "breathe through" in these exemples?
Any help would be graetly apreaciated.
