A frog's digestive surface is increased most specifically in the small intestine. This portion of the system has many folds on the inner surface, helping to increase absorption of food.

What is the common chamber that the digestive reproductive and excretory systems of the frog open into?

The common chamber that the digestive, reproductive, and excretory systems of a frog open into is called the cloaca. The cloaca is located at the posterior end of the digestive system and serves as a single opening for the release of digestive waste, reproductive products, and urine in frogs.

Why is the digestive system of a Planaria so highly branched?

The highly branched digestive system in Planaria allows for efficient nutrient absorption across a large surface area. This increased surface area enables Planaria to digest and absorb nutrients from its environment more effectively, supporting its metabolic demands and overall survival.


What is stored in the gallbladder of a frog?

It is similar to the function of the gall bladder of a human. They both are used to store the bile, a digestive juice, that is created by the liver. When needed for digestion, the gall bladder secretes a small amount to aid in the breaking down of the food (specifically the emulsification of fats).


What specializations are common in the digestive tract of higher organisms such as humans?

Common specializations in the digestive tract of higher organisms like humans include the presence of villi and microvilli in the small intestine for increased surface area absorption, the production of digestive enzymes by the pancreas to aid in breaking down food, and the presence of specialized cells in the stomach that secrete acid and enzymes for digestion.
