Tadpole's surface calculation
The tadpole shape is approximated by a cone and a sphere.
Surface of the tail
Surface of the head
Surface of the skin
Surface of the blood or surface of the receptor
To estimate this blood-receptor exchange surface, we simplified the blood circulation map to a cylindre contains the all volume of the blood. The diameter of this cylindre is the mean between the artery diameter and the capillairy diameter.
The raduis so is r=16.75 x10
