Compare the body cavity of the frog with that of man?
Actually, although they don't look similar at all, frogs and humans do have similar anatomy. Both frogs and humans have a heart, lungs, kidneys, a stomach, a liver, small intestine, large intestine, spleen, pancreas, gall bladder, etc. Of course, the frog's anatomy is much simpler than a human being's, because frogs do not have ribs, and they also don't have a diaphragm. And while frogs have a tongue, theirs is long and sticky (good for catching flies), while the human tongue is not; frogs also have teeth, but theirs are so weak as to be almost useless. Frogs can also breathe through their skin when underwater, while humans cannot. I enclose a good link to a site about frog anatomy.
