The anatomy of the frog

The manual offers a systematic, descriptive account of frog anatomy, organized into sections treating the skeleton and joints; musculature; nervous system; circulatory and lymphatic systems including the heart; the alimentary tract with liver, spleen, and peritoneum; respiratory organs and associated glands; the urinary and reproductive organs with accessory structures; and the skin and sense organs. It incorporates microscopic and vascular detail, numerous illustrations and plates, and bibliographic references, with revisions and annotations to update anatomical descriptions and figures. Emphasis is on practical morphological description rather than comparative, developmental, or purely histological analysis.
