Frogs have two main layers of skin: the epidermis and the dermis. However, the epidermis itself is further divided into distinct layers.
According to the reference, the epidermis of frog skin is composed of stratified squamous epithelial cells in three distinct layers:
- Stratum corneum
- Stratum spinosum
- Stratum germinativum
Therefore, while frogs have two principal skin layers (epidermis and dermis), the epidermis comprises three sub-layers.
In summary:
| Skin Layer | Sub-Layers |
|---|---|
| Epidermis | Stratum corneum, Stratum spinosum, Stratum germinativum |
| Dermis |
