Question

How does the body cavity of the frog differ from that of man?

Answer 1

Internal organs are kept and protected within a body cavity, which is a fluid-filled space within the body. Membranes and other mechanisms distinguish the cavities of the human body. The ventral cavity and the dorsal cavity are the two main human body cavities.

Complete answer:
Frogs have well-developed structures in their bodies that aid them in their physiological activities. Many of the organ systems, such as the digestive, respiratory, circulatory, excretory, nervous, and reproductive systems, are housed in the body cavity and perform functions that are almost identical to those of human body systems.

The brain and spinal cord are enclosed in the dorsal body cavity; the heart and lungs are enclosed in the thoracic cavity; much of the digestive organs and kidneys are enclosed in the abdominal cavity; and the bladder and reproductive organs are enclosed in the pelvic cavity.

Man is a human, while the frog is an amphibian. Amphibians lack a diaphragm, which separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities in mammals. Ribs protect the thoracic cavity in mammals (no ribs are there in frog). The diaphragm is a muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities and aids in breathing. In the absence of a diaphragm, the frog's torso has a single cavity, and the floor of the mouth cavity aids in breathing.

Note: Frogs are cold-blooded animals (poikilotherms) whose body temperature varies depending on their surroundings; as a result, they must shield themselves from extreme heat and cold in order to maintain an optimal body temperature.
