Why is it called a frog in the throat?

It used to be thought that if you drank water from a pond that had frogspawn in, a frog could live and hatch out in your throat, which naturally would block your voice. Quacksalvers (that's the traditional English equivalent of snake oil merchants) used to have a scam whereby the quack's stooge used to pretend to be so afflicted; the quack would administer his medicine, lo and behold the stooge would cough up a live frog and "regain his voice", and all the gullible peasants would buy this wonderful cure. For this reason, an obstruction in the throat is known as a "frog".

It's the valve in the throat that controls the airway to the lungs.  When you swallow it closes so the food doesn't go into the lungs.  I'm not 100% sure so double check me.

Most amphibians, such as frogs and toads, are not very fast so they cannot simply chase down their food like lions. They have camouflage and use it to hide and remain still until the fly, or other animal they wish to eat, is within range and then they can get their meal.

The area in a man's throat called the Adam's Apple is in fact a piece of cartilege. In technical terms, it's called the laryngeal prominence and forms part of the protective catrilege surrounding not only the thyroid gland but also your larynx, or voice box. Women, too, have this cartilege structure, but it is less prominent in their throats. This is because the angles at which the two sides of the cartilege meet is sharper in men than in women.\n\nThe wikipedia article below will give you more detail, including why we refer to it as an Adam's Apple.\n\nGood luck with your studies!

Loose throat most likely refers to sleep apnea. (In Britain, "apnea" is spelled "apnoea".)\n\nTake a look at the following website to see if its symptoms match up to what you're thinking of:\n\nhttp://www.sleepapnea.org/info/index.html

I tried on a frog once, I tried to blow in its mouth, sadly it didnt work :(

Mmm... it could have been an escaped pet. You could try to contact your local faunal control service and let them know, I'm sure environmental agencies would be interested in knowing about any possible exotic species. \nOne popular pet tree frog is Agalychnis callidrias (originally from Central America). Did it look like this?\nhttp://www.froggyville.com/images/graphics/usenet/wild28%5B2%5D.gif

The Answer you are looking for is the Hyoid bone, it is in your throat and helps support your tounge. Here is a link that describes it for you. \n\nhttp://bioweb.uwlax.edu/APlab/Table_of_Contents/Lab_03/Hyoid_Bone/hyoid_bone.html

cause that word "long" is relative, tadpoles have seemingly long intestines compared to their tiny bodys, hence it's all wrapped up, and the same intestines are seemingly small compared to the frogs bigger body.

A frog is compleately covered by a soft, thin and moist layer of skin make of two very important layers, the epidermis and the dermis.\nIt does not really protect the frog in any way but, it helps in the process of respiration. Oxygen can actually pass through a frog’s skin, which then enters into their blood.\nFrogs dont only breathe though their skin, some adult frogs have two sac-like lungs.\nWhen a frog is sumerged underwater, its respiration takes place through their skin only.\nThere are many blood vessels that run throughout the frog’s skin. Oxygen can actually pass through it, therefore, it directly enters into the blood. Oxygen can be gotten from water too.

Frogs have a THREE chambered heart, not two. Oxygen poor blood flows from right atrium to the ventricle where it is pumped to the lungs and skin to pick up oxygen. Next the blood flows back to the heart, collecting in the left atrium. It them flows to the ventricle and is pumped to the body, dropping off the oxygen. This oxugen poor blood flows back onto the right atrium and it begins again.\n\nThis process is simular in humans except we have two ventricles, and do not breath through or skin as much so the right ventricle pumps to lungs only.

>>>What happens when the air is pumped into the lungs? \n\nThe lungs expand.\n\n>>Compare the walls of the atria and the ventricle?\n\nThe atria walls are thin and flexible. The ventricle wall is  thick and more rigid.\n\n>>>Describe the movement of the leg muscles as the leg is bent and straightened.\n\nWhen the leg is straightened the muscle on the opposite side of the joint expands. You really do need some detailed digrams or a frog carcasse to explain this properly.\n\n>>>>How is the location of the nares an adaptation to living water? \n\nThe nares are located high on the snout and towards the front. That allows the frog to breathe while keeping almost all of its body beneath the atwer line. \n\n>>>How does the length of the small intestine relate to its function in absorbing digested food?\n\nThe longer the intestine the more time food has to digest and the more thorough digestion will be.\n\n>>>Explain why the frogs hearts has a thicker wall than the atrium.\n\n\nHuh? The atrium is part of the heart. Part of the heart can't have a thicker wall than the heart.

some frogs can blend in with their surroundings. theyre green like leaves, some have brownish tones on their bodies to blend in with dirt and twigs, etc.\n\nalso some tree frogs are poisonous

A hiccup or hiccough (generally pronounced "HICK-up" independent of the spelling) is an involuntary spasm of the diaphragm; typically this repeats several times a minute. The sudden rush of air into the lungs causes the glottis to close, creating the "hic" noise. A bout of hiccups generally resolves by itself, although many home remedies are in circulation to shorten the duration, and medication is occasionally necessary. By extension, the term "hiccup" is also used to describe a small and unrepeated aberration in an otherwise consistent pattern. The medical term is singultus.\n\nWhile many cases develop spontaneously, hiccups are known to develop often in specific situations, such as eating too quickly, taking a cold drink while eating a hot meal, eating very hot or spicy food, laughing vigorously or coughing, or drinking an excess of an alcoholic beverage. Hiccups may be caused by pressure to the phrenic nerve by other anatomical structures, or rarely by tumors.\n\nIt is still unclear to scientists exactly why hiccups occur, particularly because it doesn't seem to give us any specific benefit. Some speculation exists that hiccups are a remnant of a bodily function that has been phased out by evolution, such as the move from aquatic gilled creatures to land animals. More research is required to ascertain their true nature, origins, and purpose, if any.

That's an Old Wives Tale. Warts are caused by viruses, not by frogs.

not all male frogs are called bull frogs.....it is a seperate species (Rana catesbeiana) . So it is a male bull frog and a female bull frog.\nDifferentiating the sexes could be done by the vocal sacs(throat region) and the nuptial pad (foreleg) in the male. Only males croak

Frogs have a three-chambered heart, consisting of two atria and a single ventricle. Blood leaving the ventricle passes into a forked aorta, where the blood has an equal opportunity to travel through a circuit of vessels leading to the lungs or a circuit leading to the other organs. Blood returning to the heart from the lungs passes into one atrium, while blood returning from the rest of the body passes into the other. Both atria empty into the single ventricle. While this makes sure that some blood always passes to the lungs and then back to the heart, the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in the single ventricle means the organs are not getting blood saturated with oxygen. Still, for a cold-blooded creature like the frog, the system works well.
