The pulmocutaneous arch is a type of circulatory system found in some amphibians, such as frogs and toads. It is a blood vessel that branches off from the heart and carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs (for oxygenation) and to the skin (for cutaneous respiration). This dual pathway allows amphibians to efficiently exchange gases both through their lungs and skin, which is crucial for their survival in both aquatic and terrestrial environments.

What are the 3 main divisions of each branch of the truncus arteriosus in frogs?
In frogs, the truncus arteriosus gives rise to three main divisions in each branch: the systemic arch, the pulmocutaneous artery, and the dorsal aorta. The systemic arch supplies blood to the body, the pulmocutaneous artery delivers blood to the lungs and skin, and the dorsal aorta carries oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.

What is pulmocutaneous artery of frog?

How is the first loop in the circulatory system of a frog different from the second loop?
Amphibians have a double circulation (hence 2 loops), (compare to fish's single circulation). Blood returns from the body (systemic circuit), to the heart where it is pumped to the pulmocutaneous circuit for gaeous exhange. (The pulmocutaneous circuit involves the lungs and in many amphibians the skin, which also acts as important exchange surface). After gas exchange the blood returns to the heart where it is pumped back around the systemic circuit. So one loop is the systemic the other is the pulmocutaneous. Now go an look at how the heart anatomy is different in amphibians, reptiles and birds/mammals!
What about different kinds of arches used in architecture?
There are three different configurations of arches including the fixed arch, the two-hinged arch, and the three-hinged arch. These configurations determine how stable the arch will be. Types of arches include the triangular arch, semi-circular arch, segmental arch, rampart round arch, lancet arch, equilateral pointed arch, and jack arch. Additional types of arches include the trefoil arch, horseshoe arch, three-centered arch, elliptical arch, inflexed arch, ogee arch, reverse ogee arch, Tudor arch, and parabolic arch.
