How do bodily functions work when someone is in a coma?
In: Biology
Your body just keeps doing its thing. When youre not in a coma, you have external sphincters that you can control to stop urine and poop from coming out. Like what you do when youre holding your pee or poop in until you find a bathroom. When youre in a coma, you dont have control over them, so they just come out when your internal sphincters relax. You have 2 sphincters in those areas, one is called internal (you do not consciously control), and an external(the one you control).
