Study Notes
Taxonomy and Classification
- Frogs belong to the Phylum Chordata under Sub-Phylum Vertebrata.
- They are classified under Superclass Tetrapoda, Class Amphibia, Genus Rana, and Species Tigzina.
Habitat and Lifestyle
- Frogs are amphibians, living both on land and in water.
- They are cold-blooded animals, meaning they do not maintain a constant body temperature.
- During hot weather, frogs seek shade, while in winter, they hibernate.
Morphology
- Frog bodies are divided into a head and trunk.
- Skin is thin, smooth, and slippery due to mucus secretion from glands.
- Coloration helps in camouflage, adapting to surroundings.
Head Structure
- The head features a wide mouth for ingestion, nostrils for breathing, and tympanum for sound reception.
- The eyes have upper and lower eyelids and a third eyelid called the nictitating membrane.
Limbs
- Frogs have both forelimbs and hind limbs.
- Forelimbs are used for grasping, while hind limbs are adapted for swimming, walking, and jumping.
Respiratory System
- Frogs utilize different means for respiration:
- Aquatic stage (tadpole) uses gills.
- Adult frogs breathe through skin (cutaneous respiration), buccal cavity, and lungs (pulmonary respiration).
- Oxygen is absorbed from water or air and carbon dioxide is expelled.
Circulatory System
- Frogs possess a three-chambered heart: two atria and one ventricle.
- The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood, while the left atrium collects oxygenated blood.
- Blood is distributed through arteries and veins, with systems for systemic and pulmonary circulation.
Excretory System
- Frogs excrete nitrogenous waste primarily in the form of urea (ureotelic).
- Tadpoles excrete ammonia (ammoniotelic).
- Kidneys filter waste, draining into the cloaca along with urine.
Nervous System
- Composed of the Central Nervous System (CNS) including the brain and spinal cord, and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) including cranial and spinal nerves.
- Contains both autonomic and somatic divisions.
Endocrine System
- Key glands include the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, pancreatic islets, and adrenal glands.
- Both nervous and endocrine systems coordinate control and regulation within the body.
Sensory Organs
- Frogs have developed senses for touch, taste, smell, vision, and hearing.
- Sensory organs include skin with sensory papillae, taste buds, nasal epithelium, eyes, and the tympanum.
Reproductive System
- External fertilization occurs in aquatic environments with indirect development, as larvae (tadpoles).
- Male reproductive system includes testes, vasa deferentia, and cloaca; while females have ovaries and oviducts.
Developmental Stages
- Frogs undergo metamorphosis, starting as eggs, evolving into aquatic tadpoles, and eventually transforming into adult frogs.
