Tissue of Poison Dart Frog

Peritoneum: Spiderweb like membrane that covers organs


  • The Peritoneum membrane allows thing so pass through the organs like the testes.
  • The Peritoneum helps the testes lay inside of the frog, right underneath the kidneys.
  • The Peritoneum is web shaped because it helps the organs and body of the frog keep intact when it swims or is underwater.
Their are connective cells inside of the Peritoneum.
Mesothelial cells are in the membrane of the Peritoneum too.

* Fun fact: The Peritoneum is very important because it helps protect the testes from the poisonous substance that secrets the whole frog for its protection.
