How are the rest of the sense organs in frogs, apart from eyes and internal ears, described?
Options
- ASimple tissues
- BCellular aggregations around nerve endings
- CSingle-cell structures
- DComplex tissues
Correct answer
B. Cellular aggregations around nerve endings
Step-by-step solution
Frog has different types of sense organs, namely organs of touch (sensory papillae), taste (taste buds), smell (nasal epithelium), vision (eyes) and hearing (tympanum with internal ears). Out of these, eyes and internal ears are well-organised structures and the rest are cellular aggregations around nerve endings. Eyes in a frog are a pair of spherical structures situated in the orbit in skull. These are simple eyes (possessing only one unit). External ear is absent in frogs and only tympanum can be seen externally
