Organ What is it What Organ 1.
Propose a Hypothesis - What does this
connected to? System(s) is/are it Organ do?
connected to? 2. Correct Your Hypothesis, As Necessary
Liver gallbladder Digestive system 1. Secretes or produces bile and processes
digested food molecules
Gallbladder liver Digestive system 1. Stores bile
Bile Duct gallbladder and Digestive system 1. The bile flows into a tube called bile duct
small intestine
2. the bile will flow to the duodenum via
bile duct
Stomach Esophagus and Digestive system 1. Stores food and mixes it with enzymes to
small intestine begin digestion
Small Intestines stomach Digestive system 1. Digestion of food and absorption of
and large nutrients
intestine
Large Intestines cloaca Digestive system 1. Stores undigested food
Cloaca bladder Urinary system 1. Organ through which the products of the
frogs digest -
2. An organ which the products of the frog's
digestive and urogenital system pass
when discharged from the body
Pancreas stomach Digestive system 1. Regulate blood sugar
2. The pancreas produces enzymes that
break down and convert food molecules
into nutrients and help regulate blood
sugar
Spleen Under stomach Circulatory system 1. helps filtering blood
2. makes, stores and destroys blood cells
Lungs Chest cavity, Respiratory system 1. The frog rely on their lungs to breathe
heart
Heart Between of Circulatory system 1. Pump oxygen rich blood to organs
right and left
lungs 2. Frog’s heart has 3 chambers, it consists of
two atria and one ventricle
Kidneys bladder Urinary system 1. excrete urine
Urinary Bladder Cloaca Urogenital system 1. Maintenance of water balance.
Urinary system
2. Collects and stores urine until released
Fat Bodies kidney Endocrine system 1. Save and store energy
Why are there so many?
- It is because frogs have thin, moist skin that has a lot of blood vessels in which they get their
oxygen from the water that passes through their skins and enters their bloodstreams.
How many lobes does the liver have?
- There are 3 lobes
-
What is stored in the gallbladder?
- The bile produced by the liver
What does bile digest?
- Digestion of fats
Why is the ventricle so much thicker than the atria
- It has thicker walls because it pumps blood to the more major parts of the frog’s body.
Was there anything in the stomach?
- None
Name the two sections of the small intestine Duodenum and Ileum
1. The membrane holds the coils of the small intestine together: Mesentery
2. This organ is found under the liver, it stores bile: Gallbladder
3. This organ produces bile, which aids in digestion: Liver
4. This organ is the first major site of chemical digestion: Stomach
5. Eggs, sperm, urine and wastes all empty into this structure: Cloaca
6. The small intestine leads to the: Large intestine
7. The esophagus leads to the: Stomach
8. Yellowish structures that serve as an energy reserve: Fat body
9. The first part of the small intestine(straight part): Duodenum
10. After food passes through the stomach it enters the: Small Intestines
11. A spider web like membrane that covers the organs: Peritoneum
12. Regulates the exit of partially digested food from the stomach: Pyloric Sphincter Valve
13. The large intestine leads to the: Cloaca
14. Organ found within the mesentery (along the inner curve of the stomach) that stores bloo
d: Spleen
15. The largest organ in the body cavity: Liver
