The body of a frog is divisible into the head and trunk.
A neck and tail are absent.
Above the mouth, a pair of nostrils is present. Eyes are bulged and covered by a nictitating membrane that protects them while in water.
On either side of the eyes, a membranous tympanum (ear) receives sound signals.
The forelimbs and hind limbs help in swimming, walking, leaping and burrowing.
The hind limbs end in five digits and they are larger and more muscular than the forelimbs which end in four digits.
Frogs exhibit sexual dimorphism.
Male frogs can be distinguished by the presence of sound-producing vocal sacs and also a copulatory pad on the first digit of the forelimbs which are absent in female frogs.
