Their limb structure and placement allow for movement on land, while webbed feet and a streamlined body make them efficient swimmers.

In the 10th edition of this textbook, this lab aims to help students understand the external anatomy of amphibians and how they have adapted to life both in water and on land. Lab 8: Study of Amphibian Representatives

Amphibians exhibit "mixed" characteristics: they possess lungs for air-breathing but still rely heavily on moist skin for gas exchange.

Identify the large, protruding eyes with eyelids for protection on land, and the visible tympanic membranes (eardrums) located behind the eyes. Common Conclusions:

Note the thin, moist skin and the presence of mucus, which is essential for cutaneous (skin) respiration.
