Why zoologists name the bones of a frog like those of humans?
Zoologists name the bones of a frog similarly to those of humans because both frogs and humans share a common ancestry where many skeletal structures have similar functions and features. This allows scientists to identify and study comparable elements in different species for evolutionary and comparative anatomical purposes.

How many bones in the lower limb of a frog?
A frog's lower limb consists of several bones, including the femur, tibiofibula, and several tarsal, metatarsal, and phalangeal bones. Specifically, there are typically 6 main bones in the thigh and shank combined, along with additional bones in the foot. Overall, the total number of bones in the lower limb can vary slightly between species, but there are generally around 15-20 bones in the lower limb of a frog.
