Tadpole's volume calculation

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


tadpole volume computation

Volume of the tail

rb = 0.035cm
H = 0.8cm
tail volume computation

Volume of the head

rh = 0.3cm
head volume computation

Volume of the tadpole

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:
skin volume computation

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
