Frogs digest their food in a very similar way as humans do, via digestive enzymes. This includes acids to digest the food, then enzymes in the stomach wall to break down the dissolved materials even further.

∙ 12y agoFor the digestion of a frog, it begins with the mouth. Because it's small teeth are exceptionally weak, they use their sticky tongue to catch food (such as flies and other insects).
Like a human's digestive system, the reptile's food travels downward to the stomach. There, stomach acid breaks the food into smaller pieces, making digestion easier for the rest of the systems parts.
Proceeding into the small intestine, materials from other organs help out: pancreatic juices (from the pancreas) and bile (from the liver) pass through the gallbladder FROM the liver and into the small intestine. While nutrients diffuse through the intestine wall, the rest of the "stuff" flows into the large intestine. There, water is absorbed and the wastes are directed out and into the cloaca.
Now, a change is seen from the difference of a human's system and a frog's. Instead of a rectum and anus (found in a human), all waste materials leave the body through the cloaca and the cloacal vent.

It also contains clusters of cells called islets which produce hormones such as insulin and glucagon. These two hormones help control the level of glucose in the blood.
What are six anatomical differences between the digestive system of a human and a frog?
There are a few anatomical differences between the digestive system of a human and a frog. The first is that there are no villi in the small intestine of a frog. Frogs also have very weak teeth. The GI tract of the human and frog are also very different.
What is the difference of a urinary system of a frog and a human?
Humans and frogs have very similar digestive structures, though the acids present for digestion reflect the diets involved. The most notable difference is found in the excretory system, directly after. Humans and most mammals have two separate places for the excretion of urine and feces, but frogs only have one such exit, known as the cloaca.
Where is magnesium found in living things and in what amount is it present?
Magnesium is found insids the posinious tree frogs blood stream. To extract it from the frog, insert a nosel that can reach into the frogs body, it will cause them to vomit and the magnesium will come out along with the vomit.

What is the system that includes frogs stomach and intestines?
Digestive System.
What organ system does the frogs pancreas belong to?
The pancreas of a frog belongs to the digestive system
How is the frog's pancreas like a human's pancreas?
The pancreas of both the frog and the human produces a variety of digestive enzymes as well as hormones. However, the insulin produced by the frog is noticeably dissimilar from that produced by humans, so you can't use frog insulin for humans.
Frogs have peristalsis which is waves of muscle what that push what through the digestive system?
Flog gnaw
How is a frogs digestive system similar to humans?
Humans have teeth up front that are strong and destroy what is being eaten, and they have villi in their small intestines. Frogs have weak teeth that help to crush their food brought into their mouth by their tongue. Their small intestine does most of the digestion.the human digestive system has an anus and an appendix in the digestive system while a frog's digestive system has a cloaca and a cloaca vent
What is the difference between the digestive system function of a tadpole and an adult frog?
Tadpoles are herbivores and frogs are insects.
Do frogs have a digestive system?
Yes, both Alligators and Crocodiles have a digestive system. They are said to have some if the most acidic stomachs in the animal kingdom as they eat animals whole; bones, skin and horns alike. Therefore they need to be able to process the entire meal.

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.
Why is the interaction a frogs digestive and circulatory system important for its survival?
Well.... The frog needs nutrients in order to survive. When the frog would eat its food, the food would go down through the digestive system, where obviously the food would break down. Then the circulatory system would take the broken down food and spread the nutrients that were taken from the food, all across the frogs body. So the main answer is that a frogs digestive and circulatory system are important for its survival because the frog needs nutrient given to its body. The two systems work together to break down the food and spread the nutrients across the frogs body. - This was the way I answered a question on my lab.
