Study Notes
Digestive System Overview
- The digestive system converts food into basic nutrients for energy, growth, development, and repair.
- Key functions include ingestion, digestion (physical and chemical), absorption of nutrients, and elimination of undigested waste.
- Divided into the digestive tract (alimentary canal) and accessory organs.
Sections of the Digestive Tract
- The digestive tract consists of the mouth, oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus/cloaca.
- Accessory organs aiding digestion include teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
Dissection Procedure: Gross Anatomy of the Digestive Tract
- Start with a preserved toad and dissecting materials.
- Open the mouth to examine the buccal cavity and identify:
- Upper and lower lip folds.
- Maxillary teeth along the upper jaw and vomerine teeth on the roof of the mouth.
- Internal nares leading from the external nares.
- Eyeball prominences and openings of the Eustachian tube.
- The tongue is attached at the floor of the mouth; pharynx leads to the esophagus.
Dissection Steps
- Make incisions to expose the abdominal cavity, revealing the pericardial cavity (heart) and pleuroperitoneal cavity (lungs and organs).
- Identify the parietal peritoneum lining the body wall and its extension forming the visceral peritoneum over the intestines.
- Mesenteries support the digestive tract, with dorsal mesentery attaching to the median dorsal line.
Key Organs in the Pleuroperitoneal Cavity
- The liver is large and trilobed, with the gallbladder storing bile produced by the liver.
- The stomach, located dorsal to the liver, has three regions: cardiac, fundus, and pyloric regions.
- The pancreas is a yellowish gland in the mesentery that produces digestive enzymes and bicarbonates.
Structure of the Small and Large Intestine
- The small intestine begins from the pylorus, with the first section being the duodenum, followed by the coiled ileum.
- The large intestine ends in the rectum, which connects to the cloaca, a common passage for digestive and urogenital systems.
Respiratory System Overview
- Respiration involves obtaining oxygen for metabolism and expelling carbon dioxide.
- It consists of external respiration (gas exchange between the environment and respiratory organs) and internal respiration (gas exchange within body tissues).
- Frogs and toads use lungs, skin, and the mouth lining for respiration.
Dissection Procedure: Gross Anatomy of the Respiratory System
- Examine the preserved toad's oral cavity for respiratory features:
- Nostrils (external nares) lead to internal nares.
- Eustachian tube openings are located at the roof of the oral cavity.
Objectives of Activities
- Identify digestive tract sections and accessory organs involved in digestion.
- Recognize respiratory organs and understand airflow during respiration in frogs.
