Nervous System and Sense Organs of Frog | Diagram

Nervous System of Frog

The nervous system of frog consists of three main parts:-

1. The central nervous system
2. The peripheral nervous system &
3. The sympathetic nervous system.

The Central Nervous System

• The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord.

The Brain of Frog

• • • The brain is lying inside the cranium of the skull and it is well protected there.
    • It is surrounded by two meninges. The outer one is called piamater and the inner one is called duramater.
    • The whole brain is differentiated into three parts. They are the prosencephalon (forebrain), mesencephalon (midbrain), and rhombencephalon (hindbrain).
    • The anteriormost part is called the prosencephalon which is subdivided into two parts and they are telencephalon and diencephalon.
    • The telencephalon comprises of a pair of small olfactory lobes and a pair of cerebrum or cerebral hemispheres. Olfactory lobes are responsible for the sense of smell.
