It is not the bowel that pulls water per se, it is the bacteria that cause the infection release toxins that disable the water pumps within the cells lining the bowl, causing them to dump water into the bowel.

Why is burst bowel so dangerous?

A burst bowel, also known as a perforated bowel, can lead to severe complications such as peritonitis (inflammation of the abdominal lining), sepsis (infection spreading through the body), and septic shock. These conditions can be life-threatening if not treated promptly with surgery to repair the bowel and antibiotics to treat the infection.


Why is a fever a good thing during a bacterial infection and how does it help the body fight off the infection?

A fever is beneficial during a bacterial infection because it helps the body fight off the infection by creating an environment that is less favorable for the bacteria to thrive in. The increased body temperature can enhance the immune response, making it easier for the body to identify and destroy the bacteria causing the infection.


Where is water from remaining material absorbed in a human body?

I'll assume your question refers to the (re) absorption of water from the intestinal system. This takes place mainly in the bowel, and this is why an infection of that organ can result in very fluid fecal movements. If the fecal material remains in the bowel for too long, then it becomes less hydrated, and somewhat compacted - which we know as 'constipation'. To ensure comfortable bowel movements, it is necessary to have some fibre in the diet. This material is largely indigestible, but it does absorb water, and thus keeps the bowel motion softer - lubricated if you like.


Is it normal to have pale mucus bowel movement after an ear infection?

How does the egestion happen?

Egestion is the process of eliminating undigested waste from the body through the rectum and anus. After food is digested and nutrients are absorbed in the intestines, the remaining waste travels through the colon where water is absorbed, and then it is formed into feces. The feces are eventually expelled from the body during a bowel movement.
