Frog Dissection AP Bio Hard Palate Soft Palate Maxillary Teeth • Small, sharp, equal size The Vomerine Teeth • On the roof of the mouth are two large bulges where the eyeballs press down, helping the frog to swallow. • Anterior to the two eye bulges are two knob-like structures bearing the vomerine teeth - these help the tongue to grip live prey & prevent them from escaping Tongue • Attached to the front of the mouth • Sticks out to capture prey • Sticky • When fully extended, it is as long as its arm! • Double @ front - more surface area! Glottis • Opening into the lungs & esphogus Esophagus • Muscular tube that stretches from the mouth to the stomach • Food is pushed along the tube via. peristalsis Liver • Produces Bile • Detoxifies blood • Destroys red blood cells • Stores glycogen • Maintains blood glucose level • Produces blood proteins Liver QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. Gall Bladder • Stores the bile (produced in the liver) & squirts into the small intestine • Releases bile Stomach • Releases pepsinogen - which will convert to PEPSIN via. interaction with HCl • Churns - to increase surface area Small intestine QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. • Organ in which macromoleucles are broken down via. enzymes • Diffuses small molecules into blood stream to be transported elswhere Pancreas • Gland organ • Releases Pancreatic amylase among other enzymes into the small intestine. Large Intestine • Removes water, and salts into the organism’s blood supply. QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture.
