Answer:

Cutaneous Respiration:

  • The skin of frog provides an extensive surface for exchange of gases.
  • It is thin richly supplied with blood and kept moist by the mucus and water. The cutaneous respiration is always carried out.
  • It is practically the only mode of respiration when the frog is under water.
  • Dissolved oxygen in the water is exchanged through the moist surface of the skin by diffusion.
