Yes you can defecate while in a well rested standing position. You need to slant your back and bend your knees and push.

Yes. Bend over and touch your knees as you push. Doing this can give you a little leverage if you need to push a little harder to get it started if you are little constipated.

There is a muscle, called the puborectalis, that loops around the very lowest part of your intestine and chokes off your bowel like a lasso. It's because of this muscle that you have continence. The sphincter at your anus is only for short-term emergencies; usually your puborectalis muscle is what keeps you from pooping when you don't want to.

When you're standing up, the puborectalis is pulled tight around your bowel. When you're sitting, it holds the bowel less tightly, and when you're squatting (which is the natural position to poop in), your bowel straightens out fully, allowing feces to travel through easily and pass out of the body.

So normally, no, you can't poop when you're standing up. However, it is possible to have feces sneak past that muscle, and then you would find it difficult to prevent yourself from pooping regardless of your body position. Anyone who has had diahhrea can attest to that.

How do bees defecate?

Yes, bees do defecate. They eat, so they have to get rid of waste. The don't urinate, though. Their nitrogenous waste is passed into the rectum and mixed with the faeces.

Only when they aren't in your bathroom. Just kidding. Bears urinate wherever they happen to be, whenever they feel like it. Since most bears spend much time in the woods, that's probably where they urinate most often.

What if your gerbil keeps peeing on your hand when you want to try pick it up why does it do that?

Gerbils who are not accustomed to being handled will urinate and defecate frequently when you attempt to hold them. Fear, unfamiliar surroundings, and the effect of being held are typical causes. Try holding your gerbil for a few seconds several times a day and gradually build up to holding them for longer periods of time. The more often you handle them the less likely they will be to urinate or defecate. Please keep in mind that even when tame gerbils will still have the occasional accident.

those two functions can't happen at the same time because: A: the urethra is too small and would rupture and B: your body won't let you.
