Study Notes
- Farts can make different noises depending on the amount of gas and muscles around the anus.
- Gas comes from air swallowed while eating and breathing and from digesting food.
- Bacteria in the gut helps with digestion and releases different gases.
- Gases move along the large intestine until they reach the rectum.
- The sound of farts is affected by the amount of gas, how fast it comes out, and how tight the sphincter muscles are.
- Relaxed sphincter muscles result in quieter farts, and tightened muscles result in squeaky, toot, rumble, or roar farts.
- Farts are the result of the body letting out gases.
- The sound of farts is caused by vibrations as the gas pushes through.
- Farts can be quiet or loud enough to rattle the windows.
