How are frogs and humans digestive system similar and different?

Frogs are predators, eating small reptiles, mammals, insects and fish. Their method of obtaining food is generally to wait until the prey gets near than pounce and swallow whole. As such most of the initial digestion takes place within the stomach where digestive enzymes break down the prey. The small intestine is relatively short as digestion in the frog is the absorption of nutrients aided by secretions from the gall bladder (pronounced) and return circulation from the intestine to the livers (very large relative to the whole). The large intestine is very large and sack like. Very little in the way of recovery of water is needed as frogs are amphibians and water loss is generally not a problem . Frogs expel the contents of the all at once. Dependent on the abundance of food supply the transit time though the system can be very short and the food expelled can be only partially digested.

They are used to equalize pressure in the inner ear while the frog is swimming.

A slender tube that connects the tympanic cavity with the nasal part of the pharynx and serves to equalize air pressure on either side of the eardrum.

The Eustachian tube helps the frog to bring in sound and to hear.

The eustachian tube of a frog equalizes the pressure of the inner ear by opening and closing, which aids with sound and hearing.

They help to balance the frog.

How long do frogs stay with their parents?

Most do not. These are typically R-selected species meaning that most of their energy is put into reproduction. More offspring for better chances of some surviving, and having multiple clutches per year. So how long they stay with the parents is typically zero. All are birthed from eggs, most with no parental watch over the eggs after they have been laid.

Frogs have ears on the side of their heads what can they hear underwater?

Sounds, which are nothing more than vibrations, can actually be heard better and further underwater than in air. So I would think frog's ears would be useful both underwater and sitting on land, to detect noise/vibrations of predators and to detect mates.
