Answer

Central Nervous System of Frog:

Brain is enclosed in a bony structure called brain box or skull (cranium).
The brain is divided into fore-brain, mid-brain and hind-brain.
Forebrain includes olfactory lobes, paired cerebral hemispheres and unpaired diencephalon.
The midbrain is characterised by a pair of optic lobes.
Hind-brain consists of cerebellum and medulla oblongata.
The medulla oblongata passes out through the foramen magnum and continues into spinal cord, which is enclosed in the vertebral column.
There are ten pairs of cranial nerves arising from the brain.
