Dorsal means on or near the back of the body.
Some of the body parts that are visible on the dorsal surface of a frog include the head, trunk and limbs. Other parts are the external nares, the tympanic membrane and the anus.
The dorsal side is the top portion of the frog.
The dorsal aorta of a frog is the main blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. It runs along the dorsal side of the frog's body, supplying blood to the organs and tissues. It is part of the circulatory system that helps distribute nutrients and oxygen throughout the frog's body.
The dorsal of the frog absorbs heat energy and the ventral of the frog cools all the heat that the dorsal takes in. == ==
A frog is a tailless amphibian, having a short squat body and very long hind legs for leaping. The color of the dorsal surface is green while the ventral surface is off-white.
It helps them camouflage itself from predators. Although the answer above is true, here is a more informative answer. The bottom of the frog is a lighter color then the top. This is because if the frog is floating on top of the water, and prey or a predator looks up and the frog, the suns glare makes the frog harder to see. Also, there are darker splotches on the bottom so it doesn't show the silhouette for the frog. the top of the frog is darker because when swimming at the bottom of a murky lake, it blends in with the bottom.
The color of the frogs dorsal side is not consistent. This is because many different frogs are many different colors.
dorsal and ventral view
Ventral is the term relating to the belly or abdomen of the frog.
The dorsal blend in with the water, and the ventral blends in with the bottom surface. So they can tell if its dangerous if it is brightly colored. ( bright red frog= poisonous and non-tasty frog) :D - < I'm not sure if this right...I just guess..> P.S. This is exactly the same question on my science worksheet!
Ventral relates to the belly or abdomen of the frog.
look at the map, it is below ths small intestine and kidney.
