In the metamorphosis of amphibians, various changes occur as part of their transformation from aquatic larvae to terrestrial adults. These changes can be categorized as progressive, regressive, or remodeling, depending on whether they involve the development, reduction, or restructuring of specific traits or organs.

a) Development of Middle Ear in Connection with Pharyngeal Pouch: Progressive - During metamorphosis, the middle ear structures, including the tympanic membrane and the auditory ossicles, develop from the pharyngeal pouches. This adaptation allows adult amphibians to hear airborne sounds effectively in their terrestrial environment.

b) Change in the Shape of the Mouth and Shortening/Reduction of Cloacal Tube: Remodeling - The mouth of tadpoles, which is adapted for filter feeding, undergoes changes in shape during metamorphosis.
