    This document provides instructions for a frog dissection laboratory activity. The objectives are to compare frog anatomy to other vertebrates, understand similarities and differences between species, and develop dissection skills. Students will paralyze, cut open, and pin back the skin of a bullfrog to expose its organs. Guide questions direct students to observe and compare the frog's respiratory and circulatory systems, including its lungs, heart, and blood vessels, to those of humans.

    LABORATORY ACTIVITY #3
    FROG DISSECTION
    Objectives:
    1. Compare frog anatomy to human or other vertebrate anatomy.
    2. Understand the similarities and differences between different species.
    3. Develop practical laboratory skills such as handling dissection tools, making incisions, and using forceps
    and scissors carefully.
    Materials:
    1. Bullfrog
    2. Sewing Pin
    Procedure:
    1. Paralyze the frog.
    1. Place the frog in the dissecting pan ventral side up.
    2. Use scissors to lift the abdominal muscles away from the body cavity.
    Cut along the midline of the body to the forelimbs.
    3. Make transverse (horizontal) cuts near the arms and legs.
    4. Life the flaps of the body wall and pin back.

    *If your specimen is a female, the body may be filled with eggs. You may need to remove these eggs to view
    the organs.

    Guide Questions:
    (Respiratory System)
    1. Can you locate the frog's lungs within the chest cavity? Describe the appearance of the lungs. How do they
    differ from other structures in the chest cavity?

    2. Compare the frog's lungs to human lungs in terms of size, structure, and function. What are the main
    differences?

    (Circulatory System)
    3. Can you locate the frog's heart within the chest cavity? How many chambers does the frog's heart have,
    and can you identify the atria and ventricle?
