The Anatomy Of The Frog

A Laboratory Guide to Frog Anatomy is a manual that provides essential information for dissecting frogs. The selection provides comprehensive directions, along with detailed illustrations. The text covers five organ systems, namely skeletal, muscular, circulatory, urogenital, and nervous system. The manual also details a frog’s major external and internal features. The book will be of great use to students and instructors of biology related laboratory course.

Contents: General Anatomy of the Frog, The Vascular System of the Frog, The Skeleton of the Frog, The Muscular System of the Frog, The Nervous System of the Frog, The Eye and Ear, The Reproductive Organs and the Cloaca, Development of the Frog, Elementary Histology, Cell Division: Development of Germ-Cells.

Excerpt from The Anatomy of the Frog I undertook the publication of a translation of Eckert's 'Anatomie des Frosches' at the suggestion of Professor A. Gamgee while I was working under his superintendence in the physiological laboratory of the Owens College. The work was subsequently accepted by the Delegates of the Clarendon Press, as one of the series of 'Foreign Biological Memoirs,' published by them. Early in the progress of the work it became evident that a mere translation would be unsatisfactory, and that it would be desirable to recast and modify several portions of the book. It was deemed advisable to give greater completeness to the work by descriptions of the minute structure of the several organs. For these purposes the appearance of the work has been unavoidably delayed. I have done my best to bring the book up to date by including the results of recent researches, to which I have added many facts derived from my own personal investigations. All such additions are enclosed within square brackets [ ]. More than a hundred new figures, of which one-third are original, have been added; and copious, though it is feared still incomplete, lists of references to frog-literature have been drawn up. By these additions the size of the book has been considerably increased. In the several sections into which the book is divided the following points may be more particularly noticed: - Sect. I. The Bones and Joints. The nomenclature of Parker and Bettany has been adopted throughout. Sect. II. The Muscles. This section remains in its original form. Sect. III. The Nervous System.
