If your frog lacks these large egg bodies, look carefully for two yellow small bean shaped organs. If your frog is a mature female, locate the ovaries which contain hundreds of darkly colored eggs. Locate the heart, usually near the top of the liver.ġ0. They may appear spongy or floppy and deflated.ĩ. Locate the two small dark pink lungs, which are on either side of the heart.

Locate the dark red spleen, also in the tissues of the mesentery.Ĩ. It is attached to the “curve” of the stomach, usually lying underneath it, and might look like a thin thread, within the mesentery, the membranous tissue that connects the internal organs.ħ. It has a half moon shape and is usually found on the left side of the body cavity.ĥ. Locate the stomach -the largest of the digestive organs. Locate the liver (the large, dark three-lobed organ) and the smaller gall bladder that lies beneath it.ģ.

#MHHE FROG DISSECTION SKIN#
Please STOP when you are through with each labeling step and be sure to fill in your final answers on Figures 1 and 2 below.Instructions: Internal anatomyTo begin the dissection you’ll first need to pin and secure your frog, then choose a tool and create the skin incision. You may have to do a virtual cut on the frog by dragging the appropriate tool to the frog or label organs of the dissected frog by dragging the appropriate organ names to the site on the opened frog.
