Question

What are the parts of the skeletal system of a frog give their definition?

Answer 1

●Functions of the body parts that make up the
frog’s head
• External nares or nostrils - Anterior openings
for the entry or exit of air.
• Esophagus - Tube that connects the mouth
and the stomach in a frog.
• Tympanic Membrane - The eardrum - receives
sound waves
• Glottis - The opening from the mouth into the respiratory system
●Functions of the body parts that make up the
frog’s head
• Tongue - Muscular structure attached to the front
of the mouth which is extended to catch insects
(its food).
• Maxillary Teeth - Sharp teeth in the maxilla of a
frogs mouth that function in holding captured
prey.
• Vomerine Teeth - Small projections in the top of a
frog’s mouth that function in holding and
captured prey.
• Eustachian tube openings - Openings in the
mouth that lead to tubes that connect to the
middle ear to equalize air pressure
●Functions of the External Anatomy of
the Frog
• Nictitating Membrane - A transparent part of a frog’s
lower eyelid that moves over the eye to clean it and
protect it.
• Cloacal Opening - Opening of cloaca through which
undigested food, urine, eggs, and sperm are passed.
• Vocal Sacs - The vocal sac is the flexible membrane
of skin possessed by most male frogs.
The purpose of the vocal sac is usually as an
amplification of their mating or advertisement
call.
●Functions of the Internal Anatomy of a
Frog:
• Stomach - Stores food and mixes it with
enzymes to begin digestion.
• Small Intestine - The principal organ of
digestion and absorption of digested food.
• Duodenum - The anterior (front) part of the
small intestine into which food passes from the
stomach
• Pancreas - Gland which secretes digestive
enzymes into the duodenum.
• Gall Bladder - Sac which stores bile.
●Functions of the Internal Anatomy of a
Frog:
• Large Intestine - Posterior organ of the digestive system
which stores undigested food.
• Liver - Secretes bile and processes digested food
molecules
• Urinary Bladder - The organ that collects and stores urine
until released.
• Fat Bodies - Masses of fat in the body cavities of
frogs. Needed for hibernating and mating
• Spleen - Organ in the frog’s circulatory system that
makes, stores, and destroys blood cells.
• Cloaca - Organ through which the products of the frogs
digestive and urogenital system pass when discharged
from the body.

Answer 2

Explanation:

A frog has two scapulae, or shoulder blades, and clavicles, or collarbones, that are shaped a lot like the same bones in a person's body. A collection of small bones makes up a frog's digits, or its fingers and toes. ... But a frog's skeleton isn't so similar to a human's once you get past the extremities.
