  Amphibian (animal) - MSN Encarta
Always hairless and rarely scaled, amphibian skin provides the animals with protective coloring, a way to absorb water and oxygen from their environments, and a defense against arid conditions and hungry predators.
Amphibians owe their diverse coloration to both pigment granules in the upper layer of skin and specialized pigment-containing cells called chromatophores in the skin’s lower layer.
Their soft skin and lack of claws with which to defend themselves leave amphibians particularly vulnerable to their many predators, which include a host of small mammals, birds, lizards, snakes, turtles, and even larger amphibians.

Furthermore, studies at the Animal Health Trust have shown that the tendency to develop atopy is often inherited.Therefore, affected animals should not be used for breeding.
The breeders of atopic animals should be informed if a particular sire and dam produced affected offspring and this should influence decisions regarding future breeding.

 Skin Irritation Measurement System - EpiDerm - MatTek Corp.
The EpiDerm human skin tissue model was introduced almost 10 years ago in response to demand for an in vitro (non-animal) alternative to the animal-based Draize skin irritation test used in the cosmetics, personal care, and household products industries.
Also, introducing a skin irritation test derived from human skin cells was important because, in many instances, results obtained using animal-based testing do not correlate well with the actual response seen in human tissue.
Animal testing "end points" are typically comprised of human observation of the condition of the test animal's skin after exposure to test material(s), and the ranking of that observation in an arbitrary, qualitative way.
