Conclusion
In conclusion we learned some of the differences in systems between frogs and tadpoles. The differences for the digestive system is the entry of the food into the frog or tadpoles body. For a tadpole, the food is entered into the body through chewing, while a frog has a sticky tongue that captures an insect into its mouth and does not use the little teeth it has, to make the food smaller. One of the differences for the reproductive system is that a tadpole does not have a reproductive system until it undergoes metamorphosis. Also for a smaller frog the ovaries are flat while for a breeding frog they are not. This means that if a tadpole is born into a breeding farm it will have larger ovaries that allow it to have more eggs and healthier eggs. A major difference for the circulatory system is that tadpoles have two chambered hearts (one ventricle and one atrium) while frogs have three chambered hearts (one ventricle and two atria). A circulatory system of a tadpole has only one loop while the frogs have two. A difference in the respiratory system is that tadpoles breathe through their gills while frogs have three methods of breathing, not one of them including gills. For urogenital systems, tadpoles and frogs have similar systems. This system does not have any changes when it grows. This concludes our report on the comparison between a fully grown frogs systems and a tadpoles systems. Our group learned that a frog and tadpole have similar systems but with a few major and minor changes. Overall, what was discovered was that despite the fact both systems might be slightly different, what is similar is that all the organs are connected to each other, like one whole chain. Thus, if one part is damaged, the whole system gets damaged.
During this research project, our group had a few difficulties finding the organs. This is mainly because the organs were not removed neatly, because we didn't cut high enough into the anterior end of the abdominal cavity and because the incisions were not neat enough. Since the organs weren't removed neatly enough, we may have accidentally removed or destroyed extra organs unintentionally, since the incisions weren't high into the anterior end of the body we couldn't locate the heart and since the incisions were too deep we may have unintentionally destroyed some organs. In the future, if we were to do another frog dissection, our group would neatly remove the organs or not remove them at all, cut higher into the anterior end of the abdominal cavity and make neater incisions by marking where to cut.
