Frog Muscle Anatomy Guide

This document describes the muscular system of frogs, listing specific muscles on the dorsal and ventral sides of the body. On the dorsal side, muscles like the temporalis and deltoid are responsible for raising the mandible and moving the shoulders. Ventrally, muscles like the mylohyoid and hypoglossus lift the floor of the mouth and depress the tongue. In total, over 30 muscles are named and their functions outlined, such as flexing limbs, extending the back, and adducting the thighs.
