Study Notes

Frog Internal Anatomy

Liver: Largest organ with three lobes; produces bile, breaks down fats and fibers.
Heart: Contains three chambers (left atrium, right atrium, and ventricle); responsible for pumping blood.
Gall bladder: Located on the underside of the liver; stores bile for digestion.
Esophagus: A tube connecting the mouth to the stomach; transports food to the stomach.
Stomach: Curved sac enabling chemical digestion of food.
Small intestine: Composed of two parts; primary site for nutrient absorption.
Duodenum: First section of the small intestine, crucial for digestion.
Trachea: Tube that transports air from the mouth to the lungs.
Lungs: Spongy organs responsible for gas exchange, facilitating respiration.
Pancreas: Gland that secretes digestive juices, aiding in the breakdown of food.
Spleen: Small round organ that stores blood and helps in immune response.
Kidney: Paired, bean-shaped organs that filter waste from the blood.
Ovaries: Paired structures that produce eggs for reproduction.
Oviducts: Paired tubes that transport eggs from the ovaries to the cloaca.
Testes: Paired organs that produce sperm, playing a key role in reproduction.
Anus: Opening that allows for the excretion of waste from the body.
Bladder: Thin sac that stores urine until excretion.
Peritoneum: Spider web-like membrane that covers and supports many abdominal organs.
Fat bodies: Spaghetti-shaped structures with bright orange and yellow coloration; store energy.
Liver lobes: Consist of the right lobe, left posterior lobe, and left anterior lobe, each serving important metabolic functions.
Glottis: Opening leading to the lungs; used for breathing and vocalization in frogs.
