uptake of water and select ions... "drinking"
The most common frog dissection method is to slice a capital "I" shape on the ventral side of the frog. Peel open and pin back the skin, then repeat this for the muscle layer. Remove fat bodies and observe.

The integumentary system of a frog has multiple functions. The integumentary system is made up of the skin of a frog, and visually helps to protect the frog - using camouflage. The integumentary system also helps the skin to stay moist when the frog is on land and helps the frog to breathe while underwater.
It helps them camouflage itself from predators. Although the answer above is true, here is a more informative answer. The bottom of the frog is a lighter color then the top. This is because if the frog is floating on top of the water, and prey or a predator looks up and the frog, the suns glare makes the frog harder to see. Also, there are darker splotches on the bottom so it doesn't show the silhouette for the frog. the top of the frog is darker because when swimming at the bottom of a murky lake, it blends in with the bottom.
The gallbladder is hard to find in a frog because it is located behind the liver and the lungs, more near the dorsal side of the frog making it hard for us to find it viewing it from the ventral side of the frog.
Ventral relates to the belly or abdomen of the frog.

The dorsal of the frog absorbs heat energy and the ventral of the frog cools all the heat that the dorsal takes in. == ==
Yes a frog has skin.
The frog's kidneys (2) are located dorsally, outside the body cavity in the sub-ventral lymph sinus.

A frog is a tailless amphibian, having a short squat body and very long hind legs for leaping. The color of the dorsal surface is green while the ventral surface is off-white.
The slime on the frog's skin is mucus. It is necessary for the frog's skin to be moise because the frog breathes and drinks through the skin. If it were to dry out, it would suffocate. The mucus secreted by the frog's skin helps keep it moist.
