Why do frogs only get oxygen through their skin?
The frog gets oxygen through its lungs just as we do. It can also absorb it through the skin and the mouth lining. Overall the surface area of the skin wouldn't be enough to absorb enough oxygen to supply all the cells of the body. However, absorption through the skin is very useful when the frog is under water.
Why is the skin of frog always moist?
Skin is the respiratory organ in frogs. A thin water film is formed on the skin of frog and to retain this thin film of water for long time, mucus is produced by the mucus glands present in the skin. The O2 gets dissolved into this thin film of water from where it gets diffused into the blood capillaries. And this is the reason, why the skin of frog is richly supplied with blood capillaries. If the skin of frog dries up, the frog dies. The frogs also have lungs but 80% of respiration takes place through the skin. So, frogs have two respiratory organs 1) Skin 2) Lungs.
Why does a frog soak up water through its skin?
