Answer:

Morphology of Frogs

Though larvae have tails, adult frogs are tailless. An adult frog has a stout body which is differentiated into head and trunk. Other external features are a pair of nostrils, protruding eyes, a membranous tympanum (ear), slippery/warty moist skin and webbed limbs.

Frogs generally have a slippery moist and highly permeable skin through which they absorb water and respire. Thus, the moist skin acts as a respiratory organ in frogs. Also, the skin is glandular in nature which produces mucus and toxic substances to warn them of their predators. The color of the skin can vary from brown and green to vivid colors as per secretions.

The locomotion of frogs takes place with the help of their forelimbs and hind limbs. Frogs are unisexual i.e., they show sexual dimorphism. A male frog is distinguished from a female frog by the presence of vocal sacs and a copulatory pad on forelimbs. A female frog lacks these body features.
