locomotion system of frogs

Summary - Movements and locomotion takes place as a result of co-operation between the muscle and skeletal system, hence the study of both is necessary. Skeletal system in humans is formed by bones and cartilages. It helps in protection of delicate visceral organs, mec..

Skeletal system - Frog, being a typical vertebrate, shows the presence of a skeletal system that forms the internal supporting framework for the body. It can be distinguished into an axial skeleton and an appendicular skeleton. Axial skeleton consists of skull, vertebr..

It consists of a pair of lungs, a pair of bronchi and a trachea. The lungs contain numerous microscopic functional units called alveol..

It consists of a pair of lungs, a pair of bronchi and a trachea. The lungs contain numerous microscopic functional units called alveoli. These structures are involved in pulmonary respiration. In addition, there is buccal respiration, through the buccal cavity and cutaneous respiration through the ..

It consists of heart, blood vessels and blood. Heart is three chambered with two auricles and one ventricle. There is a mixing of the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in the ventricle. Blood vessels are represented by arteries, veins and capillaries. Arteries, which carry blood away from the heart..

One of the indirect evidences for evolution comes from the study of homologous organs in organisms that exist today. Homologous organs are those, which have the same basic structure, but different functions. For example, an examination of the forelimb skeleton in different groups of land vertebrat..

Introduction - Animals are different from plants because of their ability of locomotion. This ability probably developed as they have to search for food, unlike the plants that are autotrophic. Since they move from place to place, the animals have to continuously encounter changes in thei..

The frog is generally considered as a typical vertebrate animal. It is an amphibious animal capable of living both in water and on land. However, it spends most of the time in its aquatic habitat such as ponds, pools and ditches. Frog has a body which can be distinguished into a..
