Urinogenital system of male frog

Urinogenital system of male frog

                     The urinogenital system of male frog consists of two organ systems, an excretory or urinary system and a reproductive or genital system.

The excretory system

             In frog, the main excretory organs are a pair of kidneys. From the outer border of each kidney arises a slender duct called the ureter which opens into cloaca.

The genital system

                 The reproductive system of male frog consists of a pair of small yellowish elongated bodies, the testes. The testes produce sperms which are the male reproductive cells. In male frog, the ureter helps to conduct both urine as well as sperms. Hence, this tube is known as urinogenital  duct

Urinogenital system of female frog

                 As in the case of male frog, the kidneys serve as the chief excretory organs. The female reproductive system of frog consists of a pair of ovaries and oviducts are highly coiled. The openings of the oviducts known as the oviducal funnels lie one on either side of the oesophagus. The terminal part of the oviduct is expanded into ovisac.

                 The mature eggs are collected in the ovisac before they are discharged outside through the cloaca. 

                  Unlike in male frog, in female frogs, urine is conducted through ureter and eggs are conducted through oviduct.
