1
AmphibiansAmphibians The first vertebrates to live on land.
2
Necessary adaptations for life on land 1.Legs to support weight of animal & to allow for movement
3
Necessary adaptations for life on land 2.Lungs and/or cutaneous breathing rather than gills
4
Necessary adaptations for life on land 3.Heart able to supply more oxygen.

SkinSkin mucous glands keep skin moist which is necessary for cutaneous respiration mucous glands keep skin moist which is necessary for cutaneous respiration some have glands that produce poisons or foul- tasting substances some have glands that produce poisons or foul- tasting substances oxygen from the air is drawn into a frog's body by the blood vessels that lie close to the skin.

EyesEyes eyes bulge providing protection from predators eyes bulge providing protection from predators has 2 eyelids has 2 eyelids – one protects from dust – nictitating membrane is clear & protects under water
10
Tympanic Membrane The eardrum of the frog
11
Structures of the Mouth TongueTongue attaches at front of mouth so it can flick out to capture prey Vomarine Teeth 2 large teeth in roof of mouth that impale the prey (food is swallowed whole) 2 large teeth in roof of mouth that impale the prey (food is swallowed whole)
12
Structures of the Mouth GulletGullet Opening to the esophagus GlottisGlottis Opening to the trachea (windpipe)
13
Structures of the Mouth Eustachian Tubes Lead to the Tympanic Membrane. Internal Nares Nostrals
14
Frog Anatomy
15
SkeletonSkeleton Frog has a reduced skeleton (9 vertebrae & no ribs) Pelvic girdle is adapted to absorb shock from jumping
16
BrainBrain A larger cerebrum enables frog to process more sensory information; large optic lobe for vision
17
Digestive System Esophagus: Tube that leads to the stomach Stomach: First site of chemical digestion, breaks down food Liver: Makes bile (aids in digestion) Gall bladder: Stores bile Pancreas: Makes insulin (aids in digestion)
18
Digestive System Small Intestine (duodenum and ileum): absorb nutrients from food Mesentery: Holds coils of the small intestine together Spleen: Part of circulatory system, stores blood Large Intestine: Collects waste, absorbs water Cloaca - "Sewer": eggs, sperm, urine and feces enter this area
19
Urogenital System ExcretoryReproductive Combination of the Excretory and Reproductive systems – they are closely related Cloaca is the collection cavity for feces, urine, eggs, & sperm - one opening for all these to exit.
20
Reproductive System Eggs are not watertight so reproduction must happen in water. Males produce sperm & females produce eggs, both in large numbers for external fertilization
