Frog Dissection

  In science class, we had to dissect a frog to see the internal organs and to understand how the different organs work. We were given a frog, and we had to cut along the mid line of the body. Once we opened the frog, we could see all of the organs the frog had. The frog that we were given was a male, so we didn't have to take out all of the eggs. We had to remove the fat bodies. At first, they were very hard to get them out, but we eventually got all of them. As soon as we got the frog open, we could immediately see organs such as the liver, the heart, and the stomach.
  On the next day, we were able to examine and take out all of the organs in the frog. After we saw all of the organs, we had to know what each of the organ does to help the frog. I think that this was a fun dissection to do and I hope that we are able to do more like these in the future.
