What are the two main regions of the frog's skin?

The two main regions of the frog's skin are the outer epidermis and the inner dermis. Signup and view all the answers

What is the function of the Malpighian layer in the frog's skin?

The Malpighian layer constantly produces new cells through mitosis, which then move upwards, get flattened, and become keratinized to form the outermost dead layer. Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Frog Body Wall Structure

The body wall of frogs serves to cover and protect the organism.
Composed of three layers: skin, underlying muscles, and peritoneum.

Skin Composition

Skin consists of two primary regions: epidermis (outer layer) and dermis (inner layer).

Epidermis

The epidermis is a stratified epithelium featuring multiple cell layers.
Derived from the ectoderm layer of the embryonic development.
Innermost layer known as the Malpighian layer (or stratum Malpighii/stratum germinativum).
Cells in the Malpighian layer are tall, columnar, and constantly divide via mitosis to generate new cells.
Newly formed cells migrate upward, where they become flattened and eventually keratinized.
Surface cells are dead, extremely flat, and comprise the stratum corneum.
The outermost layer (stratum corneum) is shed periodically through a process known as moulting.

Dermis

The dermis is a resilient, vascularized layer that provides strength and flexibility to the skin.
Dermal composition supports the overall structure of the skin and aids in protection.
