The external eardrum of a bullfrog is called the tympanic membrane. It is a circular structure located behind the eyes and plays a crucial role in hearing by transmitting sound vibrations to the inner ear. The tympanic membrane is relatively large in bullfrogs, allowing them to detect low-frequency sounds important for communication and mating.

External. The female lays eggs and the male then releases sperm over them
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Rana catesbeiana.
The external ear ends at the ear canal, also known as the external acoustic meatus, which extends from the outer ear to the eardrum.
No. The cochlea transmit sound from the eardrum. The Eustachian tubes keep the pressure inside the ear equalized with the external pressure.
The scientific name for an ear flap is the auricle or pinna. It is the visible part of the external ear that helps funnel sound waves into the ear canal towards the eardrum.
Ippy is a cute name.
The bullfrog its name from the deep sound it can make. It's more like the loud noise a cow or other animal would make then a frog!
Meatus Acusticus Externus OR the External Auditory Canal
All bullfrogs are frogs but, not all frogs are bullfrogs. The bullfrog's Latin name is Rana catesbeiana.
The tympanic membrane (eardrum) separates the external auditory meatus (ear canal) from the middle ear. It vibrates in response to sound waves entering the ear canal and transmits these vibrations to the middle ear ossicles.
