Why do you fart unexpectedly as you get older?
As we age, flatus can increase in both stench and frequency. The main causes of this are; lack of bacteria that are normally present in colons of the younger people and indigestion because of lack of chewing one's food causing it to have to be broken down late in the colon rather than in the stomach. This is sometimes unavoidable as muscles fatigue as we grow older and false teeth may not chew quite as well as their OEM counterparts. To help cure the other part of this issue, the lack of proper bacterial cultures, yogurts are recommended, especially those listed as pro-biotic. Fiber is also a great idea but is more for regularity than anything (ie the prevention of constipation or diarrhea) On rare occasion, a doctor may recommend that a culture be transplanted from a healthy specimen. Yes, this is exactly what it sounds like but is only used in rare cases, especially when a patient is suffering form a bacterial infection like c. diff or a disease like colitis.

Horses can't throw up. Why?Horses have a band of muscle around the oesophagus as it enters the stomach. This band works as a one-way valve. Food passes down the oesophagus into the stomach as the valve relaxes, but when it squeezes down on the opening, it cuts off the passage for food going back up. In horses, this muscle closes so powerfully they simply can't vomit. Also, the oesophagus meets the stomach at an angle, which enhances the cut-off function when the horse's stomach is bloated with food or gas. Then, the stomach wall pushes against the valve, closing the oesophagus off even more completely. It's very bad for the horse if material does come up from the stomach. Grass sickness can sometimes cause vomiting - damage to the nervous system means the valve mechanism fails to close. Stomach contents flow into the oesophagus and horses 'vomit' through their nostrils, or risk inhaling stomach contents, causing aspiration pneumonia. Because horses can't vomit, materials have to be evacuated through the gut - this is why they're prone to colic.
How does nutrients and food get in your cells?
Two questions:
Food is broken down in the stomach and small intestines.
Nutrients (plus other related stuff) is carried from the small intestines to the liver via the portal system.
Some nutrients pass directly from the liver to the veins (inferior vena cava),
then is carried by the blood to the rest of the body.
Other chemicals are modified by the liver into useful compounds, then are also dumped into the vena cava for distribution.
Does Bacteria in the small intestine make some vitamins such as B and K?

Also bacteria makes Vitamin K and two B vitamins, niacin and thiamine. NOW STOP BEING FRIKIN LAZY AND DO YOUR FRIKIN HW!!!!!!!!!!
What are the similarities between the small intestine and the large intestine?
* Part of digestive system * intestines * absorb (small=nutrients large=water)
No. They come from two different places in the body. Chemical waste and excess water in the body is extracted by the kidneys and leaves the body as urine. Fecal matter is the leftover bulk of what is eaten and contains what the body hasn't digested. That includes indigestible fiber, fat, plant matter, and other bulk. It leaves through the intestines.
Now, it is possible for the water to be pulled out of the feces and be used by the body and released as urine. However, that makes the feces harder and leads to fecal impaction.
What millions of tiny finger like projections in the lining of the small intestine?
Those tiny finger-like projections in the lining of the small intestine are called "Villi" (VILL-eye). They look like velvet and their purpose is to provide much, much more surface area to absorb nutrients than a smooth lining would.

No.
The stomach attaches to the small intestines (where food is absorbed into the body)
which is attached to the large intestines (where most of the water is reabsorbed).
Does the small intestine remove minerals and moisture from waste?
yes, after food is digested excess water or leftover watre is reabsorbed by the large intestine. Certain types of vitamins are also synthesiszed here, people who do not go to the wash room after long periods of time tend to have constipation because water is reabsorbed from the feces.
No, that would be wrong, someone would have to clean it up. Don't do it, what if you had to clean it?
-----------------------
its better than releasing on the floor, if you flush it enough, the load will dissolve through the filter screen and there will be no damage done. a janitor would rather clean it out of a urinal instead of the corner of the bathroom or a sink.
Yes, as long as you are using the toilet. That's what it is there for.
