Study Notes
Frog's Digestive System
- The frog's stomach is a temporary storage area for food, where it is broken down by gastric juices and churned by muscular contractions.
- Most of the digestion and nutrient absorption occur in the small intestine, where enzymes break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into absorbable nutrients.
- The cloaca is a shared exit for the digestive, reproductive, and urinary systems, and serves as a temporary storage area for waste before it is eliminated from the body.
