Frogs might seem simple, but under the skin, they're biological marvels. When you dig into frog anatomy , you’ll find structures that support a life both in water and on land. That duality makes them excellent subjects for comparing vertebrate systems—including our own.

Their anatomy varies across frog families, but many species share a basic blueprint with some unique adaptations based on habitat. Let’s hop into the key features.

Muscles and Bones: Built for Leaping

The frog’s muscular system centers on powerful hind limbs that provide explosive force for jumping. These limbs are supported by a short, stiff vertebral column.

Forelimb muscles are smaller but essential for absorbing shock during landing, especially in arboreal species like tree frogs.

The spinal cord runs along the v
