Discover the frog’s body in precise, accessible detail with clear diagrams and explanations.
This nonfiction volume offers a thorough look at amphibian anatomy, focusing on the eye, retina, heart, and vascular system. Through careful description and references to figures, it presents the structure and organization of tissues, cells, and nerves in a way that supports study and reference.
- Explore the retina’s pigment and neural layers, including how pigment cells interact with photoreceptors and how membranes and nerve connections form.
- See how the eye’s connective tissue, limiting membranes, and sustentacular cells contribute to its architecture and protection.
- Examine the heart’s muscle arrangement, the trunk’s vessels, and the nerves that supply cardiac tissue.
- Learn about the nervous system components found in the frog’s heart and eye, including nerve cells, Endothelial and connective tissue, and how they relate to function.
Ideal for students, teachers, and researchers in comparative anatomy and zoology who need careful, specimen-based descriptions grounded in observed structure.
