Frog Dissection

Click here to watch a video of a frog dissection. How do the organs or the frog compare to that of the human? How are they different?

  2. Hi Leslie,

    Thanks for posting this video about frog dissection. I didn't realize how similar a frog's body is to a human's. Anyways, it was really interesting and it should help me a lot when we actually do it in class.

  3. Wow! The frog's organ systems are almost exactly like our's (except for the three chambered heart and the reproductive system, which I really have no idea about).
    This video definitely gave me a good basis and background information to the frog anatomy, now I'll be prepared for the frog dissection (yay)!
    Thanks Leslie!

  4. This video was great since my class did not do the frog dissection yet, and now I have a basic idea of what it will be like. It doesn't seem that gross, just tedious.

  5. Sorry Erin, but it's gross AND tedious...
    Whoever says yay, that's just wrong...
    Not that i dont want to dissect a frog but i'm not exactly looking foward to it either...

    On the upside,... at least it doesn't smell!

  7. oh wow, it seems to me, that when we cut up the frog then we'll be able to see the frog's organs MUCH clearer than a worm's organs when we had cut it up

  8. I can't wait to do it. It was so fun to dissect a
    worm. I've always wanted to dissect a worm and a frog.This video was really helpful because it prepared me for the frog dissection.

  9. Hopefully it won't smell as bad as the worms did..
    but the pickles smelled awesome!

  10. ekkk. i found that pretty gross!. but i enjoyed disecting the worm. becuase you got to see these organs that are so tiny and contrast and compare to your organs, not becuase i like taking apart dead things! but when wathching the video i got a scence on how stacked up the organs are in the body.thanks!

  11. I never realized how similar some of our organ systems are to those of a frog! The video helped me know what to expect during the dissection. I can't wait to dissect a frog now! Thank you Leslie!

  12. BLECH!! that is nasty but very interesting at the same time! It is so cool how the internal organs of a frog is so much a like a human's internal organs. Except the frog has a 3 chmbered heart and humans have a 4 chambered heart. Thank you for showing us what it will be like to DISECT A FROG!! by the way, Will it smell when we disect the frogs because the smell of the worms was just blechy and i cant imagine what the frog will smell like. Anyways thank you sooo much for posting that video!!

  13. It is interesting to compare frogs to humans.

    Just wondering,is a frog more like a earthworm or a human???

  14. It was pretty cool to watch the frog dissection. but i'm not so sure i'll like doing the frog dissection at lab. But i'm sure i'll learn a lot of things.
    Will we (the class) be able to touch the frog's intestines?

  16. YES! I'm really excited to do it because i like to look at its nasty guts and stuff. Also, I'm wondering if we'll ever get to kill a frog in the future. And then we'd get to chase it around the room and everything.

  17. What parts of the frog compare to animals that live underwater?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hey Leslie,
    It really surprises me that our internal organs are accurately the same to Frogs! Are we going to do the same exact process of disecting a frog?
    Although it would be quite disgusting, I think it will be fun learning about the internal parts of a frog even though its so much smaller than us.
    Anyway thank you so much for posting this video... it gave me a heads up on what its going to be like!

  20. That video, was well, sorta interesting. Just it was weird (not cause of the weirdly shaped organs) but it was like photo slides and a mouse drawing the actions of dissecting a frog.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Oh god! I saw all of the body parts much easier then the body parts of the worm!

  22. My brother said that in some of Ms. Alonso's high school classes they found bugs in the stomach of the frog that werent chewed but whole. Thats pretty cool.

  28. i would of never guessed that the liver was the largest organ before this video...
    that was a HUGE surprise...
    its going to be soooo awesome!!! i can see more organs in a bigger size!!!
    SWEET

  29. So the liver also performs the functions of the pancreas and the stomach also performs the functions of the small intestine?

    ReplyDelete
  30. This is really cool. I never thought it would be like that in a frog

    ReplyDelete
  31. Is this anything like what we'll do? That frog was pretty big. I don't know if i want to do that. Can we do virtual?

    ps:GROSS!!!

  32. today during lab 7H and 7G dissected the frog. the worst part was the smell of the frogs not so much the inside. it was really cool to see the internal organs. But the liver was huge, i dint even get to see the lungs!! I thought it was really gross and cool that Theo, Matthew, and Stanley's group found a full beatle in the stomach of their frog!! really gross!! :(
    I guess right b4 the frog was killed it had swallowed a giant beetle whole!! ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  40. It scares me to think that were doing that on thursday...
    I still cant stop imagining what it would be like if the frog was still ALIVE!

  41. I hope Michael still fights the barf.. he almost threw up out the window because of the chemicals in the worm dissection :D
    MICHAEL YOU CALLED THE FROG YOU HAVE TO DO IT!

  42. strangely enough it doesn't look as disgusting as the worm, the bigger organ will make it easier to cut. just out of curiosity when did we start using frogs and why did we chose frogs,have we ever used a different animal, besides worms and pickles. oh and are we really going to find flies?

  50. The frog dissection was very cool and interesting! Was the reason the organs where colorful (liver was blue, etc.) because of dyes?

    ReplyDelete
  51. I feel like I should have watched this before the dissection. It's amazing how the human and frog body systems compare.

  53. It's incredible how complex an organism can be even thought every organ, tisse, etc. is made up of a similar component, the cell.
