The bowel is where food is absorbed to nourish the body. The stomach is where food is broken down to pass through the intestine.
If one notes the biliary system creates, moves, stores, and releases bile into the duodenum to the body digest foods.
The biliary system includes the gallbladder, bile ducts and certain cells inside the liver, and bile ducts outside the liver.
The biliary system is high in the digestive tract which starts with the mouth and mastication. There are enzymes in the mouth that begin digestion. There is also a significant amount of saliva mixed with the food to make it easy to pass along to the stomach.
The biliary system adds digestive juices at the place of the duodenum. The duodenum is the first section of small bowel where food meets with digestive juices from the biliary system.
There are two types of bowel basically. The small bowel and the large bowel. The large bowel meets up with the rectum where digestive waste is excreted.
What occurs in the digestive tract when food enters the small bowel at the duodenum is, it is mixed with digestive juices. It is a more semi-liquid form to pass easy through 20 feet of small bowel. It is in that movement through the small bowel where nutrients for the body is absorbed.
When the waste from the digestive process of 20 feet of small bowel is finished it is then when it enters the large bowel. There are three sections of the large bowel as there are three sections of small bowel, but, the large bowel is shorter about five feet long. The diameters are different in the two types of bowel, the small bowel is about one inch in diameter and the large bowel is about three inches in diameter. One might wonder why are there two types of bowel (intestines) so different? Because they have different functions.
Think surface area. The surface area where the food meets up with the small intestines is greater because of the smaller diameter and the longer length. The small intestines are very efficient in absorbing all the nutrients a person takes in. Anyone that wants to diet will recognize the struggle in achieving goals because the small intestine is just that efficient.
The large intestine on the other hand doesn't absorb nutrients. It's job is to absorb water. As the large intestine absorbs water the food waste starts to get bulky and therefore the larger diameter. The only thing the large intestine does is absorb water. It is also very efficient. It is so efficient that when food waste stays too long in the large intestine it starts to get too bulky and dry and constipation results.
A doctor would never order a food tube enema unless it was for torture. In doing so it depersonalizes anyone from the idea food is nutritious. It might be why some of the detainees simply go on hunger strikes. If they associate food with their rectum then they won't eat. That type of torture is established to defeat the person's desire for food. If a detainee died because of rejecting food it could not be judged as a death due to any military personnel.
A doctor would never authorize such treatment. The only treatment engaged with the large intestine is enemas to relieve constipation. Otherwise, the best treatment for constipation is walking and drinking water.
