How is the skin of an adult frog adapted for gaseous exchange?

  • The skin of the frog is moist. Respiratory gases can easily dissolve in the moisture, so enhancing their diffusion across the skin.
  • The skin of the frog is thin. This reduces the distance across which the gases have to diffuse during gaseous exchange.
  • It is supplied by a dense network of blood capillaries. This maintains a steep diffusion gradient across the skin and encourages exchange of the gases.

    Nice post. I learn one thing more difficult on completely different blogs everyday. It should always be stimulating to read content from other writers and observe just a little something from their store. I’d want to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll offer you a link in your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.
