The gall bladder which is a mall greenish-brown sac.In this case, the dye for the specimen makes two of the liver lobes dark blue. The frog liver has three lobes and sits to (your) right of the heart, almost on top of the stomach. Liver - One of the most noticeable structures in your open frog is the liver.You'll want to identify them first before cutting any of them out. There are several organs that sit 'on top' of other internal structures.

If you don't get a dyed specimen, you will not see all the red and blue coloring. It should be noted here that these particular specimens are dyed to help students see the veins and blood vessels more clearly. For comparison, the male frog will have no eggs, and you'll have a clear view of his abdominal cavity. In the picture above, the frog is a female, and you can see the eggs (the black, seed-like stuff). At this point, you should see some organs.

Remember to cut gently as you just want to peel the skin back and open the frog up. After you make the vertical incision, next you're going to want to peel the skin back on the ventral side of the frog by making two horizontal incisions - one up top by the frog's neck and one towards the bottom by its legs. When you cut, you want to be careful to cut skin only so that you can peel away the layer gently. The first incision you make should be from the top of the frog's jaw all the way down to between his legs. Note you may have to break a bone to pin the frog at the hands so he's spread out.Ģ. Also, make sure insert your pins at an angle - putting them in straight up and down makes it easier for them to become dislodged while you're dissecting. It is easiest to pin the frog through the 'hand' and through the feet. To begin, lay the frog on its back, spread out its limbs, and pin them to the tray.(A discarded foam tray that meat comes in will work.) It's also helpful to have a set of tweezers, although not always necessary. r/TeachingResources: Share and discover teaching resources, such as demos, blogs, simulations, and visual aids.To cut the frog, you will need a good scalpel and pins as well as a dissection tray. r/Teachers: Learn about and discuss the practice of teaching, receive support from fellow teachers, and gain insight into the teaching profession. r/Education: Learn about and discuss the news and politics of education.
