Are there similarities between frogs and humans?
Answers
Answer:
Both frogs and humans possess a skull, spine, central nervous system, and the bones of the limbs are given the same names for each species.
2.Both frogs and humans have many of the same organs. Frogs and humans have lungs, stomachs, a heart, a brain and livers. Males of both species have testes and females in both species have ovaries.
3.Almost all major human muscle groups, including the pectorals, deltoids, quadriceps and abdominal muscles are present in frogs and recognizably similar in structure to those of humans.
4.Just like human, the frog has an ear drum and inner ear. Its eardrum is directly on the side of a frog’s head, acting as a shield and cover for their inner ear. This is called the tympanic membrane or tympanum. It is covered in skin that doesn’t have glands (no sweating in the ol’ ear cavity), and is usually located right behind the eye.
The tympanum acts much like our own eardrum. Internally there is a bone attached to the tympanum. When sound strikes the membrane then the vibrations travel down the bone to the inner ear where the semicircular canals, cochlea, and papilla are located.. The tympanum works both under and above water to detect sound.
Thus, frog actually can hear through bone conduction as well as human.
