I. Label the diagram of the frog's heart below:
Dorsal and Ventral View of Toad's Heart

1. Ventricle

2. Sinus venosus

1.Truncus arteriosus

2. Conus arteriosus

3. ventricle
II. Guide Questions:
1. Heart
a. Why are the ventricles more muscular than the atria?
- Because the atria has lesser pressure than the ventricles because in ventricles, this is
where the blood is being pumped out of the heart.

b. What valve prevents the backflow of blood from conus arteriosus to the ventricle?
- Semilunar valves
2. Venous System
a. How does the blood in the pulmonary vein differ from that in other veins?
- All the veins carry deoxygenated blood, while the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated
blood to the heart.

b. Name the three veins that empty into the sinus venosus.
- Umbilical
- Vitelline
- Common cardinal
3. Portal System
a. Trace the blood from the femoral veins of the leg to:
i. Kidney
- Femoral vein - Sciatic vein - Pelvic vein - External iliac vein - Renal portal vein - Lumbar
vein - Kidney

ii. Liver
- Femoral vein - Pelvic vein - Anterior abdominal vein - Liver

b. What visceral organ system uses the portal system extensively?

- The liver

4. Arterial System
a. Trace the shortest route a blood corpuscle could take in traveling from the systemic arch to
the intestine to the right atrium.

● Systemic Arch-Dorsal Aorta-anterior mesenteric artery-Intestinal arteries-superior

mesenteric vein-portal vein-Hepatic veins

b. How does the blood in the pulmocutaneous arch differ from that in the higher two aortic
arches?
Unlike the other aortic arches the Pulmocutaneous Acrhes end in the outer layers of an
individual and reach out to the skin, In contrast the other Arches are found deeper within the
individuals body. ____________________________________________________
