Editing Northern leopard frog (section)

===Muscle physiology and biomechanics===
The northern leopard frog is a popular species for ''[[in vitro]]'' experiments in [[muscle]] physiology and [[biomechanics]] due to the ease of accessibility for investigators in its native range and the ability of the [[sartorius muscle]] to stay alive ''in vitro'' for several hours. Furthermore, the reliance of the frog on two major modes of locomotion ([[jumping]] and [[Aquatic locomotion|swimming]]) allows for understanding how muscle properties contribute to organismal performance in each of these modes.
