Frog Body Parts
-
Nictitating Membrane: Transparent eyelid part that cleans and protects the frog's eye.
-
Cloacal Opening: Passageway where undigested food, urine, eggs, and sperm exit the body.
-
External Nares or Nostrils: Openings at the front of the frog's head for air intake and expulsion.
-
Esophagus: Tube connecting the mouth to the stomach for food transport.
-
Tympanic Membrane: Eardrum that receives sound waves, crucial for hearing.
-
Glottis: Opening leading from the mouth into the respiratory system, facilitating breathing.
-
Frog Tongue: Muscular structure used to capture insects, attached to the front of the mouth.
-
Maxillary Teeth: Sharp teeth located in the upper jaw, used for gripping prey.
-
Vomerine Teeth: Small projections on the roof of the mouth that assist in holding prey.
-
Eustachian Tube Openings: Openings in the mouth leading to tubes that help equalize air pressure in the middle ear.
-
Stomach: Begins digestion of food, producing hydrochloric acid to form chyme.
-
Small Intestine: Completes digestion and absorbs nutrients into the blood from chyme.
-
Gall Bladder: Sac that stores bile and contains enzymes necessary for fat breakdown.
-
Large Intestine: Receives waste from undigested food, reabsorbing water before elimination.
-
Liver: Cleans blood by removing toxins, produces bile, and processes digested food molecules.
-
Fat Bodies: Fat storage masses essential for hibernation, mating, and reproduction.
-
Spleen: Organ in the circulatory system that produces, stores, and recycles blood cells.
-
Heart: Pumps blood throughout the frog's body, delivering nutrients and oxygen while removing waste.
