The gastric glands in frogs are found in the wall of their stomach. These small glands secrete gastric juice needed to aid in protein digestion.
Frogs have three main types of digestive glands: mucous glands in the mouth to aid in swallowing, gastric glands in the stomach to produce digestive enzymes, and hepatic glands in the liver to release bile for fat digestion.
Southern Gastric Brooding Frogs have a short lifespan, typically living up to around 5-7 years in the wild. They are a critically endangered species and their population numbers have significantly declined.
In mosquitoes, the gastric caeca are responsible for ion and water transport. In the cockroach, the gastric caeca contain bacteria which aid in digestion. Leeches store concentrated blood in their gastric caeca. In grasshopper, chemicals are secreted from the gastric caeca in the stomach and from the salivary glands. So the general role of the gastric caeca is for digestion, but without knowing the species, your question is a little difficult to answer.
Not all frogs have smooth skin. Some frog species have smooth skin, while others may have rough or bumpy skin due to glands that secrete toxins. This variation in skin texture helps frogs adapt to different environments and predator defenses.
Some frogs are poisonous as a defense mechanism against predators. They secrete toxins through their skin or from glands that make them taste bad or even cause harm to animals that try to eat them. This adaptation helps them survive in their natural habitats without being easily preyed upon.

No, gastric glands and gastric pits are not the same. Gastric pits are the openings on the surface of the stomach lining that lead into the gastric glands. The gastric glands are specialized structures located within the gastric pits that secrete gastric juices, including enzymes and hydrochloric acid, essential for digestion. Thus, while they are closely related, they serve different roles in the stomach's anatomy and function.
Gastric juice is produced in the stomach. Gastric juice is produced in the Gastric glands.
The gastric glands are found between the rugae. These glands are lined with different cells that contribute to the formation of gastric juice.
The rugae gradually smooth out as the stomach fills, permitting stomach distension. A cross section of the stomach lining reveals that in between the rugae are gastric pits, which are the openings of the gastric glands.
Gastric glands are found in the lining of the stomach. They secrete gastric juice, which contains hydrochloric acid, pepsinogen, and mucus. The hydrochloric acid helps break down food, while pepsinogen is converted to pepsin, an enzyme that digests proteins.
Stomach
Yes, frogs have adrenal glands. These glands are responsible for producing hormones that help regulate their metabolism and response to stress.
duodenal glands
Yes. They produce acid.
hydrochloric acid
Yes. (:
