What is the number and function of the bowels in a human body?
The small bowel (Small intestine) is attached to the lower portion of your stomach. This is the longer portion of the stomach that coils back and forth. This is where your food is mostly digested and broken down into small particles. The small bowel is attached to the large bowel (large intestine). The large intestine is much shorter, and shaped like an upside down "U". It goes up the right side of your abdominal cavity, across your trunk, then down the left side of your abdominal cavity. The last portion of your large bowl is known as the rectum. It is 12-15 centimeters long and ends at the anus. The large bowel is responsible for removing most of the water from your digested food, which is compacted into feces (poop) which is then expelled from your body. If you look at yourself in the mirror, your bowel is located in the space often called "the belly" -you know, below the rib cage, and extending downward towards your behind

Intestinal obstruction (pediatric) - series?
Normal anatomyThe small intestine is basically a long tube through which digested food passes.Indications, part 1Intussusception is a common cause of bowel obstruction in children. It occurs when a segment of small bowel "telescopes" on itself, thus causing swelling, obstruction, and eventually intestinal gangrene.Indications, part 2Intussusception is suspected if the child has experienced sudden, severe abdominal pain, blood and mucous in the stool, and vomiting. Abdominal X-rays are usually taken to confirm the diagnosis. A barium enema may be used for diagnosis. Barium, a heavy, radio-opaque dye, is administered through the rectum, fills the bowel, and allows for visualization of the bowel by x-rays. This procedure is sometimes successful in correcting the problem- the weight of the barium itself in the bowel frequently reduces the telescoped bowel. If intussusception is diagnosed and not corrected by barium enema, surgery is necessary IMMEDIATELY to prevent complications such as obstruction, gangrenous bowel and peritonitis.IncisionWhile the child is deep asleep and pain-free (using general anesthesia), an incision is made in the abdomen, usually in the midline. The bowel obstruction site is located, the obstruction is relieved, and the bowel is examined for injury. Injured sections are removed and the healthy ends of the bowel are either stitched together or brought out onto the abdomen temporarily (colostomy).AftercareGenerally, patients are able to go home within 5-10 days after surgery, depending on how long it takes the intestines to recover from the surgical procedure.Reviewed ByReview Date: 05/17/2010Shabir Bhimji, MD, PhD, Specializing in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Midland, TX.
