The upper part of the intestine in frogs is called the duodenum. It plays a crucial role in digestion by receiving digestive fluids from the pancreas and bile from the liver, which help to break down food. This process allows for the efficient absorption of nutrients as the food continues its journey through the intestines.

What is the sensitive area of the small intestine which exerts control over the entire digestive tract?
Duodenum: the upper chamber of the Small Intestine.
The blank is the sensitive upper area of the small intestine which exerts control over the entire digestive tract?
probably the duodenum
What is The final product of the upper digestive system that empties from the stomach into the small intestine is?
The final product of the upper digestive system that empties from the stomach into the small intestine is called chyme. Chyme is a semi-liquid mixture of partially digested food and digestive juices, including stomach acids and enzymes. It is produced as the stomach processes food through mechanical and chemical digestion before being released into the small intestine for further digestion and nutrient absorption.
What digestive enzyme does the small intestine produce?
The small intestine produces no digestive fluids. Its upper part (duodenum) is where the pancreatic enzymes (pancreas) and bile (liver, via gall bladder) are added to digesting food. In the lower part of the small intestine (jejunum) is where most food absorption takes place.
Most of the enzymes and chemicals secreted by the upper end of the small intestine come from?
The enzymes and chemicals secreted by the upper end of the small intestine primarily come from the pancreas and liver. The pancreas releases digestive enzymes such as amylase, lipase, and proteases, while the liver produces bile which aids in the digestion and absorption of fats.
Where is the gall bladder located in the frog and how does it reflect the functions?
In frogs, the gallbladder is located beneath the liver, which is situated in the upper part of the abdominal cavity. This positioning allows the gallbladder to efficiently store and concentrate bile produced by the liver, which aids in the digestion of fats. The proximity to the liver ensures that bile can be quickly released into the small intestine when needed, reflecting its role in the digestive process.
What happen to food in stomach of frogs?
Digestion and excretion The frog's digestive system begins with the mouth. Frogs have teeth along their upper jaw called the maxillary teeth, which are used to grind food before swallowing. These teeth are very weak, and cannot be used to catch or harm agile prey. Instead, the frog uses its sticky tongue to catch food (such as flies or other insects). The food then moves through the esophagus into the stomach. The food then proceeds to the small intestine (duodenum and ileum) where most digestion occurs. Frogs carry pancreatic juice from the pancreas, and bile (produced by the liver) through the gallbladder from the liver to the small intestine, where the fluids digest the food and extract the nutrients. When the food passes into the large intestine, the water is reabsorbed and wastes are routed to the cloaca. All wastes exit the body through the cloaca and the cloacal vent.
Spleen located where in the intestine?
The spleen is not located in the intestine; it is actually an organ in the upper left part of the abdomen, under the ribcage and above the stomach. It is part of the lymphatic system and plays a key role in filtering blood, storing blood cells, and fighting infection. The intestine, on the other hand, is a long, tube-like organ in the digestive system where nutrients are absorbed from food.
What is enterogastrone?
Enterogastrones are hormones produced in the small intestine that help regulate stomach emptying and the release of digestive enzymes. They play a role in slowing down the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine to allow for proper digestion and absorption of nutrients.
How many intestines does a cow have?
Two. (They are attached at the ileum). The intestines are the portion of the digestive tract between stomach and the anus. They are divided into two major sections: small intestine and large intestine. The small intestine averages 20 feet long. It is coiled in the center of the abdominal cavity. It is divided into 3 sections: upper, jejunum, and ileum. The lining of the small intestine secretes a hormone called secretin, which causes the pancreas to produce digestive enzymes. The large intestine is wider but is only about 5 ft. long. The large intestine is divided into 6 parts: cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum.
What produces somatostatin?
The pancreas, Stomach & Upper intestine. It is a Hormone.
What kind of teeth are in a frogs upper jaw?
Maxillary teeth.
