    The document summarizes a frog dissection activity. The goals were to learn frog anatomy and compare it to human anatomy. Materials used included a dissecting kit, frog, and safety equipment. The frog was pinned down for external and internal examination. Its skin, muscles, and internal organs were identified. Several body systems were explored in layers, including the liver, heart, stomach, intestines, lungs, and kidneys. In conclusion, the students found similarities between frog and human anatomy and learned proper dissection techniques.

    A Narrative Report on the Frog Dissection Activity

    ABSTRACT
    The frog was the species that was dissected in this activity. Because of the makeup of its
    body, it is one of the species that is frequently dissected. It can provide a succinct summary
    of the internal organs found in various living creatures. Frog bodies function very differently
    from human bodies in comparison. There are still some similarities, though. The primary
    goals of this project are to learn more about frog anatomy and to compare the organ
    structures of humans and frogs. Following the activity, it was determined that the positioning
    of the frogs' internal organs and exterior body parts was somewhat comparable to that of
    humans.

    INTRODUCTION
    Dissections are performed by researchers or students for a variety of purposes, one of which
    is to better understand the makeup of the specie being dissected. When a species is
    dissected, the person performing the procedure has access to all of its body parts, including
    both internal and exterior organs. Examining these organs also enables the students to
    compare them to those of other animals, including those found in humans, and to
    comprehend how they function. Animal organs differ greatly from human organs in terms of
    size, shape, and sophistication. Yet, many organ systems in some animals function similarly
    to those in people.
    To start of in the ways of dissecting, you have to learn what and how you will dissect
    the specimen and that is why the frog is the perfect specie to be use on this project. Why
    frog? Frog has its common thing in the human and that is the human body.Its organ contains
    as much as the human body and it has the right place that replicates the organ of a human, a
    near perfect replica of human anatomy In all, dissecting would be mean to learn more about
    the human anatomy by using the frog, a frog that would give you an insight on what it would
    look like inside of the human body for refference since recommendation from profesional say
    so that frog is more common on using into this subject.

    MATERIALS & METHOLOGY

    The materials need to perform this activity is the following: (1) Dissecting Kit which includes
    dissecting probes, scalpel, pins and scissors. (2) Dissecting pan, (3) Frog, (4) Alcohol, (5)
    Cotton balls . Also, don't forget the wear the basic safety equipment inside the laboratory
    which is lab gown, gloves, goggles and face mask.
    PLACING THE FROG ON THE DISSECTING PAN

    For dissection part, it is divided into 3 parts (External Anatomy, Internal Anatomy ,Internal
    Body System).

    External Anatomy.
    Place the frog on the dissecting pan ventral side up and pin down its arms and leg using the dissecting
    pins. Make sure you can see clearly the frogs" face . Afterwards, locate the frogs' eyes and tympanic
    membrane or its cardrum. It is located at the back of each eyes. Next one is the nostrils which is just
    beneath the eyes . It has also two holes like the nose of the humans.

    Internal Anatomy: Dissection

    For this part,after paralyzing the frog , it is strictly observed that the frog is positioned ventral side up
    and the pin is pinned down properly on the four limbs. To separate the skin from the muscle layer,
    first lift the skin on the rear leg using forceps and make a small cut on the lifted skin using scalpel. Be
    careful to cut only the skin not the muscle. Afterwards, use the scissors on the small cut to incise up to
    the frog's neck. Now, you will cut horizontally between the front legs and second is to the rear legs.
    After incising, use the forceps to lift up the skin and pin the flap of the skin into the dissecting pan.

    After the skin, do the same with the muscle layer. But be extra careful, don't cut to deeply. This
    may cause damage on the internal organs of the frog that may result to blood spillage. Remember the
    muscle is thinner than the skin. As mentioned, same procedure with the skin, use the scalpel on the
    incised muscle from the internal organs. Stretch the muscle layer as far it can be to easily see the
    internal organs.
    INTERNAL BODY SYSTEM

    For the last part, the anatomy of frog is explored. In executing this part, it is subdivided into
    4 layers for it to be easier. It begins with the liver and heart. Layer 1. Locate the liver, it
    can be easily seen with its brownish colored and size. Next one is the heart. It is triangular in
    shape and it can be seen in top of the liver. Layer 2. After pulling out the liver and heart,
    you can see the gall bladder, the small intestine and the stomach. The gall bladder is a small
    sac that is located below the liver. The stomach can be seen easily because of its shape. It's
    also a large organ located below the liver near the front limb. After, locate the small intestine.
    It is long folded organ which is tubular in shape and it is located near the stomach. Layer 3.
    Here you will locate the lungs and pancreas. It is suggested that all organs mentioned in
    layer 1 and 2 is pulled out to see the pancreas. You can see it by its yellowish color and
    ribbon in structure. . Layer 4. Here the spleen and kidneys will be located. In male, the
    spleen can be easily determined because of its round shaped. In female, it is more difficult to
    be located. The kidney on the other hand is an elongated, also brown in color like the liver
    found in the lower part of the abdomen of the frog. Reminder, in female, you should remover
    the ovaries and oviduct to locate the kidneys.

    CONCLUSION
    In conclusion, the positioning of the frogs' internal organs and exterior body parts in
    comparison to human anatomy was somewhat striking. The frog's lack of internal ovaries
    leads scientists to the further conclusion that it was male. In doing this, the students also
    learned how to properly cut the frog's various layers and pin the animal's limbs and skin.
