The function of this organ system is to assist the frog in excreting urine and reproducing.
Organs
Kidneys: The function is to filter blood
Ureters : Transport urine from kidneys to bladder
Testes: Produce sperm for the male fro
Oviducts: eggs travel through these in female frog
Ovary: produces eggs for female frog – ovary is miniscule while eggs can be spotted with the human eye
Urinary Bladder : Used to store urine
Cloaca : Location where sperm, eggs, urine, and feces leave the frog's body.
The urogenital system is sub-categorized two more distinct systems: The urinary system and the reproductive system.
The urinary system of a frog/tadpole consists of the kidney, ureters, urinary bladder and cloaca. The frog/ tadpole first has to ingest a liquid in order to get the urinary system to work. The process of excreting urine occurs after the frog or tadpole needs to get rid of urine when the urinary bladder is full. The liquid is first filtered through the kidney, then it is transported to the bladder through a ureter. After the bladder gets full, it is excreted through the cloaca.
The reproductive system of a frog is a group of organs working together in order to help the frog in reproducing offspring. It is different for the male and females (just like humans).
Tadpole:
Tadpoles and frogs both have similar urogential organs but, the frogs are more developed. Due to the fact that tadpoles have not reached a certain point in their life, they do not have reproductive organs (unless it is a female). Females have undeveloped ovaries which are small in size compared to adult frog ovaries. Tadpoles and frogs both have a similar urinary system, but the tadpole's is less developed.

Due to time constraints, we were unable to find a picture which would represent the Urogenital system for our frog.
Here is a picture from the internet which give a brief demonstration of the frog's Urogenital system.
