Options:

Central nervous system and  peripheral nervous system.

Central nervous system and autonomic nervous system.

Central nervous system , peripheral nervous system and autonomic nervous system. 

Brain and spinal cord .

Correct Answer:

Central nervous system , peripheral nervous system and autonomic nervous system. 

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) -Central nervous system , peripheral nervous system and autonomic nervous system.

The system for control and coordination is highly evolved in the frog. It includes both neural system and endocrine glands. The chemical coordination of various organs of the body is achieved by hormones which are secreted by the endocrine glands.

The prominent endocrine glands found in frog are pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, pineal body, pancreatic islets, adrenals and gonads.

The nervous system is organised into a central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), a peripheral nervous system (cranial and spinal nerves) and an autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic).

There are ten pairs of cranial nerves arising from the brain. Brain is enclosed in a bony structure called brain box (cranium). The brain is divided into fore-brain, mid-brain and hind-brain.
