The skin is composed of thin membranous tissue that is semi-permeable to water and contains a large network of blood vessels. The thin membranous skin is allows the respiratory gases to readily diffuse directly down their gradients between the blood vessels and the surroundings. When the frog is out of the water, mucus glands in the skin keep the frog moist, which helps absorb dissolved oxygen from the air.

They are an advantage for the frog because frogs have poorly developed eyelids that don't close all the way when their eyes are pushed out of their skull. Therefore, during resting periods, they can protect their eyes by pulling them into their sockets. ( http://www.microscopyu.com/galleries/confocal/frogeye40x.html)
