Occidozyga laevis - diceCT frog

3D Model

Diffusible iodine contrast enhanced CT scan of the ‘common puddle frog’, Occidozyga laevis (Ascaphidae), from the Herpetology collections of the Florida Museum of Natural History (UF-herp-37009; MorphoSource identifier: ark:/87602/m4/530529). Snout-vent length = 33.38mm.

Scanned by Dr Alice Leavey (University College London), who also segmented and exported the musculoskeletal system of the pelvis and hindlimb as 3D meshes using VGStudio Max (version 3.4), which were then further edited in Blender (version 3.5) to create this 3D model.

The hex codes used to colour each muscle can be found here (https://tinyurl.com/frog-muscle-hex-codes). More details for the anatomical labels, including the sources for each description of muscle function, can be found in the associated study: Leavey et al., 2024, Journal of Anatomy. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/joa.14122
