Answers
Answer:
the answer
Explanation:
liver
When you first open your frog, you'll notice a large dark red organ with three different parts that takes up a large part of the body cavity. This is the liver. The liver creates chemicals used in digestion and releases them into the small intestine. The different parts are called lobes.
Describe the dorsal and ventral sides of the frog. Ventral side is lighter and under belly. Dorsal side is the top side and darker. Where are the posterior and anterior ends of the frog.
Absorption of digested nutrients occurs in the small intestine. Large Intestine--As you follow the small intestine down, it will widen into the large intestine. The large intestine is also known as the cloaca in the frog. The cloaca is the last stop before wastes, sperm, or urine exit the frog's body.
