This document provides an index and overview of the muscles, internal organs, and other structures that would be labeled and identified during a frog dissection. It includes sections on the frog's mouth, dorsal and ventral muscle groups, internal organs for both male and female frogs, and keys identifying each labeled structure. The purpose is to guide students through the process of dissecting and labeling a frog specimen.
