explain in detail excretory system in frog

Excretory System

• Consists of:

  • A pair of kidneys; composed of uriniferous tubules (nephrons)

  • Ureters arise from the kidneys; in males ureters act as urinogenital ducts, opening into the cloaca

  • Urinary bladder present ventral to the rectum which also opens in the cloaca

  • In females, the ureters and oviduct open separately into the cloaca

• Frogs are ureotelic since they excrete urea.
