| Abstract: | This article reviews the anatomy of the skull and oral cavity in the three amphibian orders. Feeding behavior and feeding physiology are also described. A review is given of reported oral pathology. The pathology is divided into infectious causes (bacterial and parasitic) and noninfectious causes (trauma, neoplasia, and nutritional). |
