30 Frogs are poikilothermic animals.Body cf frog is divisible into head and 4
trunk.Frogs respire on land and water by two different methods.In water,skin
acts as aquatic respiratory organ(cutaneous respiration).On land ,the buccal
cavity,skin,and lungs act as the respiratoryorgans.They undergo aestivation and
hibernation.The vascular system of frog is well developed closed type.They are
ureotelic animals.They have different types of sense organs.Frogs have well
organised male and female reproductive systems.
