Introduction to Metamorphosis in Amphibians: In amphibians, metamorphosis is associated in typical cases with a transition from an aquatic to a terrestrial mode of life.

In this article we will discuss about the development of general body form of vertebrates.

During the period of organogenesis, in the case of the vertebrate embryo, the main changes are: i. Elongation of the body. ii. Formation of the tail. iii. [...]
