Tadpole's volume calculation

The tadpole shape is approximated by a cone and a sphere.

Volume of the tail

rb = 0.035cm
H = 0.8cm

Volume of the head

rh = 0.3cm

head volume computation

Volume of the skin

To compute the volume of the skin we do the difference between the external and internal sphere/cone. Tskin = 35 * 10-4 cm First the volume for the skin in the head:
head skin volume computation
Then the volume for the skin in the tail:
tail skin volume computation
Finally the whole tadpole skin volume:

Volume of the blood

According to a study published in the article "THE BLOOD-VOLUME OF COLD-BLOODED ANIMALS AS DETERMINED BY EXPERIMENTS UPON FROGS AND LIZARDS", the average volume of blood in a frog in cubic centimetre is equal to 4.61% of its masse in grammes. We took the same percentage for a tadpole with mg=4.61grammes
