Skeletons and muscle frogs' bodies are supported and protected by a bone framework called skeletons. The skull is flat except for the dilated area that surrounds the small brain. The frog's spine, or spinal column, consists of only nine vertebrae. The human spine has 24 vertebrae.

Vertebrates are usually large animals such as birds, fish, amphibians (frogs, etc.), reptiles (snakes, lizards, etc.), and mammals (dogs, humans, etc.). Invertebrates are animals that do not have a spine. Many invertebrates have a soft body because they do not have an internal skeleton.
