Because there is a large relationship between the to and so they have similar features so they call them the same. they also look very similar.
The skeleton of a human and frog are quite similar. There are a couple differences with the radius and ulna on a frog being fused together as well as the tibia and fibula bones.
there are 23 bones in the upper extremities
It would make sense...
they kinda look alike.
Frogs have skulls like a human, but they do not have necks, so they can't turn, lift or lower their heads like humans do. A frog does not have ribs even though the have a rib like structure. The structure is actually part of its spine. The frog's backbone is made up of 9 vertebrae whereas a human has 24. A human has separate bones for the arm called a radius and ulna, but in a frog fused together into one bone. The same thing for the legs. In a human we have a tibia and fibula, but in a frog these are fused into one bone.
The femur bone in the frog skeleton would hold the most weight as it is the longest and strongest bone in the frog's body, designed to support the frog's body weight and facilitate jumping and leaping movements.
How are they the same? The bones in a frog are inside of its body and humans are the same way. How are they different? They are different because their fingers and toes are webbed.
1. The frog's pelvic girdle is tilted laterally to accomodate rearward extension of the legs. 2. The frog's phalanges are significantly longer relative to the metacarpal and metatarsal bones. 3. The frog's vertebral column lacks the cervical and lumbar curvatures. 4. The frog's skull has a foramen magnum shifted further back. 5. The frog's distal limbs do not have opposable thumbs. 6. The frog's pectoral girdle is much sturdier. 7. The frog's teeth are sharp and pointed. 8. The frog's carpals are rotated inwards. 9. The frog's eye orbit is significantly larger. 10. The frog's tibia and fibula are fused.
In frogs the ankle bones (or tarsals) are fused to form the astragalus-calcaneum.
There are 159 bones in a frog skeleton, depending on what type of frog.
The axial and appendicular both make up a frog and human's skeletal system. For a frog, the skeletal system's main function is locomotion and maintaining posture. Although the human and frog skeletal system also protect vital organs the frog does not have any ribs whereas a human does. The frog also has less number of vertebrae, extended pelvic bones, and long bones of the hind legs. The frog skeletal system has l59 and the human has 206. The human's skeletal system is a moveable frame and is an efficient factory for producing red blood cells. The frog's skeletal system also produces red blood cell and all their bones are covered with a membrane called the periosteum from which they get their circulation nerves.
The frog skeletal system is used for locomotion and maintaining posture and structure. The human skeletal system is used for locomotion, posture, blood cell production, circulation, and several other things. Frogs also only have Ribs and Urostyle which is fused with the bottom of your vertebrae and spine.Other than being smaller, the frog skeleton also features differently shaped bones to help with their jumping and swimming actions.they are smaller than human skeletons and WAY more dellacate
