*A pithed frog has had its spinal
cord severed and is technically dead while some of its organs
continue to function for a brief period. Visuals of pithed
frogs are found in the section on "Internal Organs."
The Whole Frog Project
http://froggy.lbl.gov/
The goal of the Whole Frog Project is to provide high school biology classes the ability to explore the anatomy of a frog by using data from high resolution MRI imaging and from mechanical sectioning, together with 3D surface and volume rendering software to visualize the anatomical structures of the intact animal.
