In addition to the lungs and buccal cavity, the skin is also an organ of respiration in frogs. This method of respiration is called cutaneous respiration and is used by the frog when under water. When on land, the skin is kept moist by secretion of mucus so that it does not dry out. The skin helps in cutaneous gas exchange.
