BLADDER AND BOWEL FUNCTION
Overview: The human body eliminates waste of
metabolism through urine and stool. Normal function depends on these factors: - anatomic integrity - intact neurologic components for both
voluntary and synergistic emptying - a predictable pattern of waste production - physical and mental ability and the psycho-
social willingness to carry out toileting related tasks

STRUCTURES AND FUNCTIONS RELATED TO BOWEL ELIMINATION
Amylase released

HCL, Pepsin Intrinsic factor Mucus CHYME

Nutrients, electrolytes, vitamins absorbed
Absorption, secretion, protection, elimination
Defecation process
![Page 7: 53 a focus 9 elimination](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/546b63f2af79593a7f8b4ba8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Physiology of Defecation
Peristaltic waves move the feces into the sigmoid colon and the rectum
Sensory nerves in rectum are stimulated Individual becomes aware of need to
defecate Feces move into the anal canal when
the internal and external sphincter relax
![Page 8: 53 a focus 9 elimination](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/546b63f2af79593a7f8b4ba8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
External anal sphincter is relaxed voluntarily if timing is appropriate
Expulsion of the feces assisted by contraction of the abdominal muscles and the diaphragm
Moves the feces through the anal canal and expelled through anus
Facilitated by thigh flexion and a sitting position
![Page 9: 53 a focus 9 elimination](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/546b63f2af79593a7f8b4ba8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

capillaries into the capsule Bowman’s Capsule Filtrate move from here into the tubule of the
nephron

the amount and frequency of loss of urine and situations surrounding incontinent episodes
Assess abdominal and suprapubic palpation for tenderness and fullness
Determine hydration status and possibility of constipation
Ask specific questions regarding situations that lead to urine loss
