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.
What histological layers are common to the human and frog skin?

What is the name of the movement of frog?

What are ten differences between a human skeleton and a frog skeleton?
1. The frog's pelvic girdle is tilted laterally to accomodate rearward extension of the legs. 2. The frog's phalanges are significantly longer relative to the metacarpal and metatarsal bones. 3. The frog's vertebral column lacks the cervical and lumbar curvatures. 4. The frog's skull has a foramen magnum shifted further back. 5. The frog's distal limbs do not have opposable thumbs. 6. The frog's pectoral girdle is much sturdier. 7. The frog's teeth are sharp and pointed. 8. The frog's carpals are rotated inwards. 9. The frog's eye orbit is significantly larger. 10. The frog's tibia and fibula are fused.
What is the function of the frog blood cell?
To carry oxygen to the frog's body cells.
Special glands under the skin of a frog secrete to keep the skin moist?
toxin
How does a frogs skin aid in respiration?
The frogs have mucus glands in their skin that secrete mucus. These mucus glands keep the frog's skin moist so that the diffusion of gases can occur. Oxygen diffuses into the frog's bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out.

You can not actually get warts from touching or kissing a toad or a frog. Some frogs and toads have glands that secrete poison as a form of self-protection. This poison can cause skin-irritation, but warts have nothing to do with the frog itself.

As a wiping frog uses its feet to massage its body, the stimulation produces a nerve reflex that causes muscle cells to contract around glands in the skin. This triggers special glands to produce a protective wax. Frog skin contains glands that produce various substances. Mucous glands release a fluid that keeps the skin moist and healthy. Poison glands (also called granular glands) release toxic substances that keep predators away. It turns out that the Chacoan monkey frog has another type of gland that most frogs don't have: a specialized gland that produces lipids, or waxes. The frog wipes these waxes over every part of its body, and when the lipids dry, the frog looks like it's made of plastic. "That lipid barrier is almost like a wax coat you'd put on your car," Barbeau says. "You wax your car to keep water out. These frogs are waxing their bodies to keep water in." The Chacoan monkey frog may be the frog prince of water conservation, but a few other tree frogs can wax themselves without a specialized lipid-producing gland. Two species of Australian tree frogs and seven species of Florida tree frogs secrete waxes from their poison glands; but these frogs' coverings aren't as waterproof as the Chacoan monkey frog's wax coat. One possible reason: The waxes in their coverings are mixed with other substances produced in the glands, diluting the waxes. And unlike the Chacoan monkey frog, which wipes its entire body, the Florida frogs never wipe their bellies. Instead, these frogs protect their stomachs from water loss by shielding them from the desert air. "When they settle down, they tuck their legs and arms in tight against their bodies, and press their bellies as close as possible to the surface they're on." There are many different types of frogs, they are all unique and special in there own way. This is just an example of a few..
