FROG DISSECTION: EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL
External Anatomy,
1. Observe the dorsal and ventral sides of the frog.
Dorsal side color_daik ‘awn Ventral side color_yedlish lama
2. Examine the hind legs.
How many toes are present on each foot? _{ Are they webbed? _Yus
‘3, Examine the forelegs.
How many toes are present?_4__Are the toes webbed? _ Mp
4, Use a ruler to measure your frog from the tip of the head to the end of the frog's
backbone,
‘Compare the length of your frog to other frogs.

5. Locate the fogs eyes, the nctiating membrane isa clear membrane that attached
to the bottom ofthe eye. Use tweezers to carefuly remove the ncttating membrane.
You may also remove the eyeball
What is the color ofthe nicitating membrane? clea
Whats the color ofthe eyebal? Wagk onl ‘eles
6. Just behind the eyes on the frog's head is a circular structure called the tympanic:
membrane. The tympanic membrane is used for hearing. Measure the diameter
(distance across the eee) ofthe tympanic membrane
Diameter of tympanic membrane =

Isit scaly or isit simy? scaly
Anatomy of the Froa's Mouth
Pry the frog's mouth open and use scissors to cut the angles of the frog's jaws open.
Cut deeply 50 thatthe frog's mouth opens wide enough to view the structures inside.

1. Locate the tongue. Play with the tongue.
‘Does it attach to the front or the back of the mouth? _Y&
‘You may remove the tongue. Draw a sketch of the tongue, paying altention to its
shape.
2. In the center of the mouth, toward the back is a single round opening, the
‘esophagus. This tube leads to the stomach. Use a probe to poke into the esophagus.3. Close tothe angles ofthe jaw are two openings, one on each side. These ae the
Eustachian tubes, They are used to equalize pressure in the inner ear while the fog
'is swimming, Insert a probe into the Eustachian tube.

4, Just behind the tongue, and before you each the esophagus is sit ike opening
(You may need to use your probe to get itto open).
‘This sit isthe glottis, and itis the opering to the lungs. The fog breathes and
vocalzes with the gots, Use your probe o open the glois and compare that opening
to the esophagus
5. The fog has two sels of teeth, The vomerine teeth are found on the roof of the
mouth. The maxillary feeth are found around the edge ofthe mouth. Both are used
