  As in other higher vertebrates, the frog body may be divided into a head, a short neck, and a trunk (see  Vertebrates ). The flat head contains the brain, mouth, eyes, ears, and nose. A short, almost rigid neck permits only limited head movement. The stubby trunk forms walls for a single body cavity, the coelom. The internal organs of humans are housed in one of three distinct hollow cavities—the chest, the abdomen, and the pelvis. The human chest is separated from the abdomen by a powerful muscular partition, the  diaphragm . There is no such partition in the frog’s coelom. All the frog’s internal organs—including the heart, the lungs, and all organs of digestion—are held in this single hollow space. THE SKELETON AND MUSCLES

  Research suggests an association between sleep restriction and negative changes in metabolism. In adults, sleeping four hours a night, compared with 10 hours a night, appears to increase hunger and appetite — in particular for calorie-dense foods high in carbohydrates. Observational studies also suggest a link between sleep restriction and obesity. Other studies have found similar patterns in children and adolescents. One explanation might be that sleep duration affects hormones regulating hunger — ghrelin and leptin. Another contributing factor might be that lack of sleep leads to fatigue and results in less physical activity. So now you have another reason to get a good night's sleep.

We may get used to a schedule that keeps us from getting enough sleep, but our judgment, reaction time, and other functions will still be off. Why You Need REM Sleep and Deep Sleep There are four   stages of sleep , based on how active   your brain   is. The first two are light. Stage three is “deep sleep,” when your brain waves slow down and it’s harder for you to wake up. During these periods, your body repairs tissues, works on growth and development, boosts your   immune system , and builds up energy for the next day. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, or stage R, usually starts about 90 minutes after you fall asleep. Brain activity increases, your eyes dart around quickly, and your pulse,   blood pressure , and   breathing   speed up. This is also when you do most of your   dreaming . REM sleep is important for learning and memory. It’s when your brain handles information you’ve taken in ...
