I. Label the following diagrams:
A. Spinal nerves of the toad

1.Right Sympathetic Trunk

2.Dorsal Aorta

3.Left Sympathetic Trunk

4.Urostyle

B. Dorsal aspect of the brain of the toad

1. Olfactory lobe
2. Cerebral Hemisphere
3. Diencephalon
4. Optic lobe
5. Cerebellum
6.Medulla oblongata

7. Spinal Cord

9. Filum Terminale
C. Cross section of the spinal cord

1. White matter

2. Central Canal

3. Gray matter

II. Guide Questions:


1. What could be the reason why the cerebellum of the frog/toad is relatively smaller compared
to those found in birds and mammals?
- Due to their more compact body the cerebellum does not need to be very big and can be
smaller.

2. The number of spinal nerves in frog tadpoles are 40 pairs as opposed to the number of spinal
nerves in the adult frog. What possible factors could dictate or influence the number of spinal
nerves in animals?
- The reason for this would be because the tadpoles had tails and tails are expandable
organs, which would be gone when the metamorphosis occurs.

3. Unlike amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals (including humans) have 12 pairs of cranial
nerves, instead of 10 pairs. Research on the 12 pairs of cranial nerves in humans. Fill up the
table below by classifying them whether they are purely sensory (afferent), purely motor
(efferent), or mixed nerves; indicate their function or innervation as well.

Cranial Nerve Type Innervation/ Function

Optic Sensory Vision

Vestibulocochlear Sensory Balance & Hearing

Olfactory Sensory Smell

Oculomotor Motor Movements in the eye


(opening of eyelid, eye
movement, etc)

Accessory Motor Shrugging of shoulder and


head turning
Hypoglossal Motor Movement of tongue

Abducens Motor Eye movement (lateral rectus


muscle)

Trochlear Motor Eye movement (super


oblique muscle)

Trigeminal Both Mastication and Facial


sensation

Facial Both Facial movement, taste,


hearing, closing of eyelids,
and lacrimation

Vagus Both Most of the ability of the


mouth (swallowing, coughing,
speech, etc), monitoring of
baroreceptors and aortic
chemoreceptors, and from
parasympathetic innervation
to the thoracoabdominal
viscera

Glossopharyngeal Both Taste, sensation, elevation of


pharynx & larynx, and
managing the nasal
chemoreceptors,
baroreceptors, and carotid
body
