Morphology of Frog

  • 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.
