Four cases of abnormalities in the blood vascular system of the common Indian frog (Rana tigrina Daud.)

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Summary

For the first time abnormalities in the anterior venous and the arterial system have been recorded in thecommon Indian frog. The present communication is based upon three frogs, all adult females. No explanation can be offered in the light of the developmental history or on phylogenetic grounds regarding the arterial abnormality and the anterior venous abnormality. Three explanations for the abnormal post-caval vein have been put forward on ontogenetic grounds. All the three specimens were found each in a lot of thirty-two frogs during class dissections.
