Why do malnourished children have large abdomens?
"A swollen stomach is indicative of kwashiorkor, malnutrition caused by protein deficiency. It often affects children when they are no longer fed milk and their new diet is lacking in protein. The protein deficiency causes fluids to drain from the blood into the stomach, causing the characteristic swelling (edema) which may also be present in the arms, legs, hands, feet, and faces. A lingering disease, these children tend to be lethargic. Although kwashiorkor may not kill, permanent injury is not uncommon–such as mental retardation."-http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/news/malnutrition/index.cfm

What lymphatic organ prevents bacteria from breaching the intestinal wall?
Bacteria are prevented from crossing the intestinal wall by the integrity of the intestinal cells, particularly the tight junctions, as well as the mucus lining of the intestines. If bacteria make it into the interstitial space in the intestinal wall, there is a strong diffuse immune system presence in the form of the GALT (gut associated lymphatic tissue) that can quickly move to eliminate trans-locating bacteria.
However, there is no specific lymphatic organ, just a collected of lymph nodes and lymph tissues.

For a doctor which is the better designation MD or DO?
Both degrees are totally equivalent.
DOs have not been around as long as MDs, so the MD is more recognizable.
It should be noted that there are other medical degrees around the world as well, such as the MBBS, BMBS, MBChB MBBCh, BMed, MDCM, Dr. MuD, Dr. Med, and Cand.med.

The author above, , is correct. As you can see above their are many titles for worldwide doctors:
MBBS, BMBS, MBChB MBBCh, BMed, MDCM, Dr. MuD, Dr. Med, and Cand.med.
However, Jstjohn27, when 1 of those doctors above pass all the USMLEs and then do residency in US they take on the title MD. Why? Because everyone knows an MD is a Medical Doctor. These worldwide doctors would not want anything other then MD, certainly not DO. Why? Because most people in US and worldwide, even today, do not know what a DO is. You just don't see House, D.O. on TV, you see House M.D. Thus, it's time for the DO to change it's name to MD,DO or to MD.

Back to the posted question. It's possible you are a higher anxiety individual, chew gum, gulp more air, drink more carbonated beverages, these all contribute to assblasting. If you're lactose intolerant, and down some lactose containing sustenance, you will be noticed if you launch a salvo. Best to drive with your windows down in that scenario. That webpage I mentioned earlier makes reference to undergarments which take the sting out of butt-fumes. Maybe you should check that out. Personally I think they should put charcoal in couches, sofas and office furniture to absorb any malodorous air which escapes a charged sphincter.
Yes. Inflammation of the colon can cause mild, moderate or severe pain, depending upon the severity of the particular condition.
How are the villi of the small intestine important to the digestive system?
Digestion and absorption. Yummy! The length of the the small intestine allows for more absorption time and its epithelium has specialized villi and the villi have microvilli adding to its surface area and absorption ability. Although digestion does begin in the oral cavity turning the food we eat into a bolus, and the stomach does it's job by turning the bolus into chyme, most of the digestion and absorption takes place in the small intestine. The stomach will squeeze out chyme, in small quantities at a time, into the first part of the small intestine: the duodenum, which is where most of the digestion will take place thanks to more secretions by the gallbladder (stores bile) and pancreas (produces bile). Then it gets moved along into the jejunum (I always thought that would make a great doggie name) of the small intestine; more absorption along the way, and finally the to the last part of the small intestine, the ileum. At this point everything will have been digested and most of the nutrients will have been absorbed, and now off to the large intestine for its next journey out into the world...life is good!
Eleaphants do fart because when they eat, it desolves the food which lays gas
