Study Notes
Frog Anatomy Flashcards
-
Esophagus: A tube connecting the throat to the stomach, aiding in the transport of food. Essential for digestion.
-
Left Atrium: One of the heart's chambers, responsible for receiving oxygenated blood from the lungs via the pulmonary veins.
-
Stomach: A muscular organ that breaks down food using acids and enzymes. Plays a vital role in the digestive process.
-
Pancreas: An organ with both endocrine and exocrine functions, producing digestive enzymes and hormones such as insulin.
-
Duodenum: The first segment of the small intestine where most chemical digestion occurs, receiving bile and pancreatic juices.
-
Cloaca: A common chamber and outlet for the excretory, reproductive, and digestive tracts, unique to amphibians and some reptiles.
-
Right Atrium: Another heart chamber that receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the vena cavae, crucial for circulation.
-
Lung: An organ responsible for gas exchange, extracting oxygen from and releasing carbon dioxide into the environment.
-
Ventricle: A heart chamber that pumps blood to the lungs and the rest of the body, having a major role in maintaining circulation.
-
Liver: An essential metabolic organ that detoxifies substances, produces bile, and synthesizes proteins for blood plasma.
-
Gall Bladder: A small organ that stores and concentrates bile, aiding in fat digestion when released into the small intestine.
-
Ileum: The final section of the small intestine, responsible for nutrient absorption and connecting to the large intestine.
-
Large Intestine: The part of the digestive system that absorbs water and forms waste, leading to the excretion of undigested material.
-
Artery: A blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the tissues of the body. Vital for overall circulation.
