Dissection: Leg

The video tutorial explains how frog muscles work together to enable jumping. It covers the dissection of a frog's leg to identify major muscle groups and demonstrates how these muscles operate in pairs to produce movement. The concept of antagonistic muscle pairs is introduced, showing how one muscle contracts while the other relaxes to facilitate movement. The tutorial also compares this biological mechanism to hydraulic systems in machines, highlighting the similarities in movement production.
