yep more herp talk, I'm just trying to relieve a stress headache from studying for tomarrows amphibian practical x.x Anywho the two words for the topic title are 2 of my favorties:
opisthonephros is the primitive kidney found in mudpuppies and other various aquatic forms of salamander (caudata) and occygeoiliacus is found on the dorsal side of anura (frogs and toads) between the hind legs and is a large heart shaped muscle group which I believe helps in the aid of leaping, hopping what have you. Most likely smaller in toad species.
