Frogs have a much simpler digestive system compared to humans, with a single-chambered stomach while humans have a complex four-chambered stomach. Humans have a longer small intestine for nutrient absorption, while frogs have a shorter one. Frogs have a large sac-like structure called the gall bladder to store bile, while humans have a gall bladder but it is not as prominent as in frogs.
