Is it simple or lobed ? The pancreas lies between the stomach and the first bend of the intestines (Fig. 255). What is its shape ? A bile duct connects the liver with the small intestine (Dc, Fig. 255). It passes through the pancreas, from which it re- ceives several pancreatic ducts. After many turns, the small intestine joins the large intestine. The last part of the large intestine is called the rectum (Latin, straight). The last part of the rectum is called the cloaca (Latin, a drain), and into it the ducts from the kidneys and repro- ductive glands also open. The kidneys are large, elongated, and flat. They lie under the dorsal wall. The urinary bladder is also large. Does the salamander have a similar digestive system? (Fig. 256.) Why are the liver and lungs (Fig. 256) longer in a sala- mander than in a frog ? -How many lungs? Are they simple or lobed ? (Fig. 256.) A lung cut open is seen to be baglike, with numerous ridges on its inner surface. This increases the surface with which the air may come in contact. In the walls of the lungs are numerous.
