Question

Explain the female reproductive system of frog.

Answer in Brief

Solution

Female reproductive system consists of paired ovaries, attached to the kidneys, and dorsal body wall by folds of the peritoneum called mesovarium. There is a pair of coiled oviducts lying on the sides of the kidney. Each oviduct opens into the body cavity at the anterior end by a funnel like opening called Ostia. Unlike the male frog, the female frog has separate genital ducts distinct from ureters. Posteriorly the oviducts dilated to form ovisacs before they open into cloaca. Ovisacs store the eggs temporarily before they are sent out through the cloaca. consists of paired ovaries, attached to the kidneys, and dorsal body wall by folds of peritoneum called mesovarium.
