Class Response: Frog Dissection

In science class we finally dissected a frog. I've heard so many freaky stories about it being gross and coming back to life. I knew that it wasn't true and when the day came I was estatic! When my group got our frog we thought it was female because it was so big. Trey started cutting it on the ventral side of the from or the belly. When he opened it up, we noticed it was a male since it didn't have eggs in it. My group and I also couldn't find the ovaries so we automatically made the assumption that it was a male. After finding all the body parts we were suppose to find like the lungs, heart, stomach and liver, my groupmate and I measured the intestine which was about 23 centimeters. While we were doing that, My other two groupmates continued to study parts of the frog. I learned so much from this dissection like the liver has three lobes and the cloaca is where waste, urine, and eggs are exited. I also learned that dissecting a frog is not gross and the frogs do not come back to life.
