What is the name of the bacteria in the large intestine?
of course
they are helping you digest and they cause flatulance (farts)
once outside your body, they can harm you, such as e. coli
yes they make u gassy when they feed of ur waste
Of what? It can be, but it can also just be because you ate too much or you have gas or something harmless like that.
How long is the small intesine?
if you were to remove the entire small intestine and straighten it out, it would go around the world approximately two and a half times.
Can you use numbing cream for hemorrhoids?
It is not a good idea to use numbing creams for anal sex. It might make things faster and easier, but it also makes it easy for you to injure your partner without knowing. The walls of the anus do not produce their own lubricant and thus tear easily and this can cause intense pain, bleeding and potentially infection. I suggest just using a very liberal amount of water-based lube instead.
Just would like to express my frustration on terrible condition I suffered for already 8 months, after hemmie excision. Tremendous help and support I found on board anal-fissure.org
I have shared my story there. And there are many similar with great people supporting.
Where does the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates happen in the body?
They are everywhere. All cells have some amount of carbohydrates. In liver and muscles, carbohydrate glycogen is stored.
What is a special lymphatic capillary in the small intestines?
The specialized lymph capillaries located in the small intestine are called lacteals. These lacteals are important in that they absorb fat.
What does the amount of time that feces stay in the large intestine depend on?
It depends on the Motility of the intestines, or the speed at which movement of the intestines moves solid waste matter along.
The rate of Motility depends on several things:
Hydration. If the person is properly hydrated, faecal movement should be normal. A dehydrated person will form small, hard motions that are difficult to pass.
Fibre. The amount of fibre in the diet, such as from fruit, vegetables and cereals. A low fibre diet will cause constipation whereas too much can cause diarrhoea.
Disease. Diseases such as food poisoning, typhoid, Crohns disease will all cause diarrhoea.
Over use of laxatives causes a dependency by which a person cannot have a bowel movement unless he has taken a laxative, and this is very bad for the health. It can disturb the essential electrolyte balance.
All most people need for good bowel habits is a reasonable amount of fruit, veg and water.
What if youre stomach is hurting around the navel area?
It could be just a common stomach ache caused by the stomach flu or eating something that your body did not agree with.
Other illnesses it could be include morning sickness and stomach ulcers. If you feel concerned about this issue, you should visit your physician.
What can you do to get rid of male anal odor?
Anal odors come from E Coli in stool (feces, bowel movements), and from yeast. Remember that bacteria and yeast excrete proteins as they colonize; these proteins cause itching and inreased odor. Sweat increases the odor and itching from both of these.
The only way to stop odors is--
- wipe well after bowel movements
- wash with soap and hot water
- shower and wash there after playing sports
- always shower before and after sex
- talk to your doctor if odor or itching persists
Is it normal to poop minutes after eat?
It depends on the food and the person. Some people have a bowel movement every day, some every other day, and some every few days. As long as it is at least 2 or 3 times a week and not painful, it is still considered "normal" and healthy. Different foods will also change the outcome. Foods high in fiber will pass through your system and result in bowel movements much faster. Also, some people might have intoletances to substances like dairy which also might result in more bowel movements.
What is called when you fart under water?
The air comes out of your anus, and the bubble escapes to the surface as gas is lighter than water!

If you believe and wish and dream, your poop could be rainbow!
I personaly beleive that poop should be brown, but sometimes it is green or yellow or purple or, as the answer above this, rainbow. though if this actually happenes, go to the hospital. something is deffinatly wrong.
- See your doctor! It is unlikely that this has to do with your emotional well being. Feces is a direct result of what goes into your body. If you are eating too much fat, too much or too little magnesium, or have a number of other dietary problems your gas and bowel movements will change. Infections and long term antibiotic use can also do it. You need to speak to a licensed health care provider immediately.
- I think that the answer to the question has very little to do with diet (the human digestive system is in most individuals, an amazingly adaptable mechanism) but more to do with the his/her emotional health. I am 65 years of age and have enjoyed for most of my life, and enviable quality of health. Recently however, I have through my own lack of foresight and poor judgement, landed myself in a situation of almost intolerable stress from which I can see no easy way of escape. Result: The very same symptoms that are described. If this is a recent change you need to see a doctor. Colitis (not irritable bowel syndrome) and rectal tumours can cause this Mucous is common in some colon disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome IBS. Also in IBS you can have diarrhea or constipation or both. Food allergies/intolerance
- Some types of infections could cause this without other symptoms (at first). After 2-3 days, things should return to normal or get worse. See a doctor if it lasts longer or occurs again. I'm not a doc, but I did like my pathogenic bacteriology class and this sounds familiar.
- Symptoms most likely are due to Ulcerated Colitis, as symptoms worsen abdominal pain and rectal bleeding can also be seen. See your doctor, early treatment can sometimes help avoid surgery. It has nothing to do with the mucous production from cigarette smoking as one contributor stated. Also probably not due to a parasite or bacteria, these usually cause diarrhea.
- When bowel movements stop and a mucous comes out, it may be that you are IMPACTED. You should see your doctor, or go to a walk-in clinic if you don't have a regular physician. He or she will press on your lower belly, and can tell if you are impacted. They may put you on a stool softener/bowel stimulant and have you increase fluid intake.
- I agree with the last poster in saying you are IMPACTED! See a doctor. Indeed poor diet can cause these problems. It's important to eat leafy green veggies such as Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Spinach and grains (roughage) and lots of water (8 - 8 ounce glasses of water per day or more if you are in a hot country or have been exercising and perspiring a lot.) Fruits should also be in your diet and for now, back off of dairy products because they can cause constipation (especially too much cheese.)
- This is not uncommon. I recommend taking Benefiber, which is almost undetectable when mixed with a drink, even water. This should help. Don't panic, there is most likely nothing seriously wrong with you that cannot be improved by some fiber and perhaps a healthier diet.
What absorbs and distributes materials throughout the body?
i am pretty sure it is the digestive system but im not 100% sure
What happens if you can't have a bowel movement?
The symptoms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease certainly depend largely on what part of your digestive tract is affected. Patients experience different symptoms depending on whether they have Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis, or any of the other IBD's. However, many of these symptoms are common to multiple forms of IBD. Abdominal Pain, Diarrhea (with or without blood), Vomiting, low grade fever, loss of appetite, rapid weight loss, fatigue. Other signs to note would be, pain and inflammation in your joints, mouth sores or small fissures (little cuts right at the anus that cause bleeding and pain, especially when you're going to the toilet).
Describe the structure and function of the mesentery associated with the small intestine of a frog?
The mesentery is a thin film of tissue holding the small intestine together. It is there so the intestine will not move around in the abdominal cavity.
Large Intestine: Thick tube like organ that absorbs water from the solid waste, stores solid waste until it is expelled.
Small Intestine: Long slender tube-like organ coiled several times that digests carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. Absorbs them into the blood.
Liver: Browish 3 lobed organ in the upper right area of the frog's abdominal cavity that stores glycogen, detoxified food, recycles red blood cells, makes bile.
Stomach: A J shaped muscular organ that stores and grinds food, begins protein digestion
The proper medical words to refer to the actual product of bowel movements, or solid human biological waste material produced during bowel elimination, is "feces" or "fecal material". You could also say excrement, fecal matter, stool, solid waste, or BM, which stands for bowel movement. "Bowel movement" is also used for the act of elimination of the solid wastes.
There are words more commonly used for animals' than humans' solid waste, such as dung, manure, muck, and droppings.
There are the more childish words that are used as well, at least in the US, such as poop, poopy, number two, ca-ca, Ka-ka, doo, doo-doo, and do-do.
Some words that you may hear used are considered impolite in the US. It is best to avoid using "crap", "turd", "shite", and certainly "sh*t", in the US. Although it is more accepted in other countries to use the word "crap".
(Note: In the UK, the word feces is spelled faeces.)
Additional note of interest: In the study of paleontology, fossilized dung is called a "coprolite".
Is bright red blood in your stool bad?
Not necessarily. It could be from hemorrhoids, which is swelling and inflammation of the rectal/anal area. If so, there are OTC medications to treat them, which will shrink them, and help with the pain and discomfort. But it could be something more serious, so you need to discuss it with your doctor.
