Study Notes
Frog Anatomy Study Notes
-
Lungs
- Organs responsible for gas exchange, allowing frogs to breathe in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide.
-
Liver
- A large organ that plays a crucial role in metabolism, producing bile to aid in digestion and processing nutrients.
-
Stomach
- Essential for breaking down food through mechanical and chemical digestion, allowing nutrients to be absorbed later in the digestive system.
-
Large Intestine
- Responsible for absorbing water and electrolytes from undigested food, compacting waste for excretion.
-
Small Intestine
- Primary site for digestion and nutrient absorption, where enzymes break down food into its component nutrients.
-
Fat Bodies
- Specialized tissues that store energy reserves, critical for reproduction and hibernation, especially during lean periods.
-
Urinary Bladder
- An organ that stores urine until it is excreted, playing a role in regulating water balance within the frog's body.
-
Ovaries
- Female reproductive organs that produce eggs, important for the continuation of the species and hormonal regulation.
