Question

Which of the following organs produces the sound in a frog?
(a)Syrinx
(b)Larynx
(c)Laryngotracheal chamber
(d)lunges

Answer 1

Hint: Near the mouth, a pair of vocal sacs act as chambers that echo. It is a small framework in front of the trachea for birds; it only serves to guard the air passage.

Complete answer:
By moving air back and forth over the vocal folds, frogs create their croaking sounds. A pair of semilunar valves are the arytenoid cartilages, which rest on the cricoid cartilage. The cartilage binds to the muscles in the laryngotracheal chamber, from which the glottis can expand or close. A pair of elastic bands are the real sound-producing organs, the vocal cords, stretching longitudinally around the larynx.
Let’s learn in detail how the sound is made. And for what purpose.

Additional Information: Before calling or concurrently with the output of the first call, a calling frog usually inflates his sac or sacs. Inflated with air from the lungs is the sac. If there is another call and the male frog is not in the calling process, the air is still kept in the sac. Sound is produced through the larynx and through its vocal cords by a managed rush of air. The resulting sound waves are intensified by the vocal sac or sacs' resonating qualities. Frogs convey sound without expelling air, unlike the vocalization processes of many other vertebrates. Air does not pass out of the mouth; instead, between the buccal cavity and lungs, it cycles back and forth.
So, the correct answer is ‘larynx’.

Note: Frogs make their sound without releasing any amount of air. This ability to make a sound is only spotted in males so they can attract females.
