      The ears are connected to the throat via the Eustachian tubes. Those tubes are the reason why you can swallow and equalize the pressure in your ears when you are diving or in an airplane. Noses are connected via the sinus cavities.

          I put liquid into my body.

          My body digests this liquid.

          My kidneys digest it into pee.

          Pee comes out my urethra

          Done and dusted

            Yes, but there’s no single “tube” from your intestines to your kidneys. Your intestines absorb the liquid and then send it through a branching network of tubes which eventually end up at the kidneys.

      Here’s some trivia: People who don’t have the sublingual frenulum can, with some practice, reach their tongues to the nasal cavity and directly touch the back side entrance of both the nasal tubes (choanas) and eustachian tubes (auditory, surrounded by the bony cushion).

      You’re welcome.

      Most force feeding torture is done via a tube inserted into the nostril, which goes all the way down to the stomach.
