How to Label Parts of a Frog
As with every organism, a frog's body is composed of many parts, each of which is responsible for a certain function. A frog has eyes to see, nostrils to smell and feet to move around. However, as a frog's morphology is different from a human's, it can be difficult to identify individual parts of a frog's body. For this purpose, you can use labels to name each part of the frog's anatomy on a photograph or a graphic design. The procedure is quite easy, and you can use either handwritten or digital labels.

1
Download a photograph of a frog or cut one out of a magazine, if you're not on a computer. You can also use a frog design or draw one yourself.
-
2
Draw straight lines, beginning from certain parts or organs of the frog and reaching the surrounding empty space.

3
Write the name of each part on the end of its corresponding straight line. Consult the "Frog Dissection" article on the website Biology Junction (see Resources) for the right name of each part. For example, a frog does not have a "nose" but "nostrils," while its "ears" are called "tympani" (singular: tympanum).

4
Draw a rectangle around the word describing each part. This can make it easier for the viewer to distinguish which word corresponds to which part, especially if many words are crammed together.
-
5
Repeat the process using designs of the frog's anatomy to label the internal organs, such as the heart, the liver and the intestines. "Frog Dissection" has detailed pictures and analyses on the frog's internal anatomy to help you label the parts. Use separate images for the male and female frog's reproductive system.

Tips & Warnings
As it is difficult to find unlabeled internal anatomy designs online, you should try making a drawing by yourself. However, you must use online designs to check the accuracy of your final draft.
