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 dorsal surface is a green color and has spots.
The ventral surface is a lighter green color.
The ventral side of a frog is usually a light color. This allows the frog a bit more camouflage from the underwater predators that it may not sense are below it.
The dorsal surface is a greenish color.
The ventral surface is a sandy color.
The difference in color between the ventral and dorsal sides of a frog is used for camouflage. The dorsal side is greenish in color while the ventral side is almost white.
Dorsal means back. So...
Ventral = belly
Anterior = front
Posterior = back / butt.
Lateral = sides.
it is a sandy color.
greenish color
purple
the dorsal is along the back and is darker from the main blood stream, where as the ventral is along the front and is very light from the less blood in the certain vessel....so yeah
Breaking it down, Median would mean in the middle, ventral has something to do with the abdomen (compare ventral and dorsal, dorsal means back), and vessel would be a duct or canal. So, it would be the canal in the middle of the abdomen.
ventral is from the base view. so imagine a dog standing up. Dorsal would be looking down onto its back and ventral would be lokking up towards its tummy from the ground.
Frogs usually have a dark green or brown dorsal color and a white or yellowish ventral color. This helps them blend in with the water surface from above and the water surface from below as well giving protection from underwater and above water predators.
Not always. In anatomy, superior applies to the head end and inferior to the foot end. Dorsal refers to the back, while ventral refers to the front (belly). However, in human cranial anatomy the term "superior" is applied to dorsal locations (up), while "inferior" is applied to ventral locations (down).
Ventral relates to the belly or abdomen of the frog.
the dorsal is along the back and is darker from the main blood stream, where as the ventral is along the front and is very light from the less blood in the certain vessel....so yeah
You can tell cause dirt comes out the dorsal side. the dorsal side is darker because its the worms main blood vessel like our aorta
Upper part darker, can see venation more clearly. Upper part (ventral) originates from xylem. Lower part (dorsal) originates from phloem. Do not confuse with other denominations of dorsal/ventral.

dorsal
The ventral side is lighter than the dorsal.
Dorsal and ventral roots are a feature of spinal nerves only. Cranial nerves do not have dorsal and ventral roots.
The opposite of it's dorsal. The Dorsal is the back, Ventral is the Front. Hence the dorsal fin on ocean-based organisms
Ventral root is the ventral portion of spinal cord,there is no ganglion,cell body is of motor types ,cell info goes out of spinal cord of anterior horn. dorsal root is dorsal portion of spinal cord,it posses ganglion,cell body is of sensory types,information goes into spinal cord posterior horn
The ventral side is lighter than the dorsal.
