Question

How are the human and frog urinary systems similar?

Answer 1

Hint: The system present to eliminate the waste particles from the bodies is called the urinary system. Frogs and humans have similar organs in their urinary system.

Complete answer:
Frogs- are the organisms belonging to the Order Anura, Class Amphibia, Phylum Chordata, and Kingdom Animalia. They are a cosmopolitan and diverse group of animals that are- short-bodied, tailless, have bulgy eyes, and slimy skin. The sexes are different in them. They have a common reproductive and urinary system called the urogenital system. Both males and females have a similar urinary system.

Humans are the modern organisms belonging to the- Genus- Homo, Order Primates, Class Mammalia, Phylum Chordata, and Kingdom Animalia. They have an organ level of organization and have specialized organs for various functions in their body.
The urinary system- also called- the renal system or urinary tract, helps in the excretion of waste substances. It also helps in the- regulation of blood pressure, pH of our body, blood volume level, electrolytes, and metabolites balance. It also balances the body fluids in our body. The main organs of the urinary system are- kidneys, urethra, urinary bladder, renal pelvis, and ureters.

The similarities between the urinary system of the frog and humans are-
1)They both have a pair of kidneys for removing the wastes and extra substances from their bodies.
2)They both have a pair of ureters for the passage of the urine.
3) They both have one urinary bladder for the storage of urine.
4)The path of urea and urine is the same in both organisms.

Note: The excretory and the genital system is common in frogs. They also consist of a special organ called- Cloaca. It helps in the excretion of urine and feces from the body. In female species, it serves the function of the vagina, while in male species- it is the opening through which sperms are ejaculated.
