Frog Dissection
Comparing frogs with humans Frogs have a lot of the same organs that humans do. By dissecting a frog it
will allow us to learn about the structure and function of some of our organs.
Smooth Skin
Lays Eggs
Metamorphosis Develops inside mother
Bear Live Young
Hair
MAMMALSAmphibians
Let’s take a look at our specimen Notice the coloration of the frog. What is
the advantage?
External Anatomy - What will we see on the outside of the frog?
Eye with Membrane
Ear (tympanum)
Webbed Hind Feet
External Anatomy – Examining the Mouth Area To examine the mouth area you will need
to use your scissors to cut the sides of the mouth slightly.
External Anatomy – Examining the Mouth Area
Teeth
Eustachian Tube
Esophagus
Glottis
Tongue
External Anatomy – Comparing Frog & Human
Frog Part Function
Eye with membrane Sight
Ear Hearing
Webbed Feet Swimming
Teeth Chew food
Eustachian Tube Tube leading from throat to ear; helps equalize pressure
Esophagus Food tube which leads to stomach
Glottis Air tube; passage to lungs
Tongue Sticky to catch food; attached in front
Skin Smooth,moist, protects, allows O2 to pass
THINK! – What are the similarities and differences between frog and human?
Internal Anatomy – Making the Cuts Carefully use the scissors to cut through
the skin.
Internal Anatomy – Structure & Function
Heart
Liver
Fat Bodies

Stomach
Spleen

Testis
Kidney
Internal Anatomy – Comparing Frog & Human
Frog Part Function
Heart 3-chambers; pumps blood
Liver 3 lobes; produces bile and sends to gallbladder during digestion (breaks down fat)
Gallbladder Small sac which stores bile and sends (secretes) to small intestine where it contacts food and breaks down fat
Stomach Storage site for food where digestion begins
Small Intestine Where food continues to be digested and nutrients absorbed in bloodstream
Large Intestine Where most of water is reabsorbed and solid waste begins to be created
Spleen Stores blood cells
Kidney Cleans the blood of wastes
Lungs Takes Oxygen in and gives out Carbon Dioxide
Testis Male reproductive organ; makes sperm
Homework
A short ticket slip will be given before each lab session to make sure you have the knowledge to participate!
You must earn a “B” or better on the ticket slip in order to participate!
Tonight – Study structure and function of external anatomy!
