The 'tympanum' is the same thing as the human eardrum-- it is used for hearing! Frogs and toads have this membrane on either side of their heads for bi-directional hearing.
The frog's tympanum allows it to hear.
The frog's tympanum allows it to hear.
Relaying sound waves is the function of a frog's tympanum.
Specifically, the term describes a structure which is located on the outside of some amphibians, insects and mammals. In frogs, it is found just behind the frog's eye. It works as a middleman in hearing since it transmits sound waves from the environment into the frog's protected, inner ear for processing.
the ear is the typanium in the frogs.

What does the tympanum do in a frog?
yes, the frogs ear can also be call the tympanum
Where are the ears on a poison arrow frog?
A poison arrow (or other frog) does not have ears per sebut has what is called a tympanum on their head behind each eye. It picks up vibrations and transfers them into the inner part of the frog's head where the rest of the organs of hearing are located. Recall that the frog's "ears" have to work under water, and the "ear" of a frog (or toad) is completely covered by the tympanum. The frog's other hearing organs are behind the tympanum in the inner head. Got links if you want 'em.
This structure is similar in function to the tympanum of an insect?
ear drum
What the function of tympanum?
The tympanum's function is to help the ear hear. It does this by vibrating sounds to the first bone in the middle ear called the malleus. It is commonly called an "eardrum."
What are the eardrums of the frog called?
The tympanum is an external hearing structure in frogs and toads, located just behind the eye. It does not actually process sound waves; it simply transmits them to the amphibian's inner ear, which is protected from water and other foreign objects.

What is the ear on a frog called?
Frogs don't have external ears like we do. Instead, they have an eardrum of sorts, called a tympanum, which sits just behind each eye. When sound hit the tympanum (essentially a thin membrane surrounded by a cartilage ring) it vibrates. This in turn vibrates a rod connected to the inner tympanum. The vibrating rod stirs fluid in the inner ear, and the resulting waves wash over tiny hair cells. These hair cells are connected to nerve fibers that transfer the electrical pulses to a part of the brain that interprets sound. Amazingly, frogs also hear with their lungs. When sound waves hit the lungs, they're funneled directly to the tympanum (the frog's eardrum) through an air link. The difference in pressure between sound waves coming in from the external environment and those being funneled through the lungs is allows the frog to locate sound. This helps female frogs, for example, locate mates during the breeding season. The air link between the lungs and the tympanum may also protect the frog's ears from its own calls, which can be nearly as loud as a jackhammer in some species (90 to 95 decibels). Specifically, the air link helps to equalize the pressure on the inside and outside fo the ear drum so that it doesn't rupture.
What is the function of the frogs plyorus?
The pylorus is the lower area in the stomach in a frog. The function of the pylorus in a frog is to standardize the exit of food from the stomach.
