Vagina probably wouldn't be considered a hole but a cleft in this situation. Everything else in that list is connected to the digestive system in some way but not the vagina.
What part do nostrils and ears play in the digestive system?
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.
The urethra is still separate from the digestive system though.
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.
Wrong, pee is stored in the balls.
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.
I know it shouldn't be, but that's nightmare fuel right there
Most force feeding torture is done via a tube inserted into the nostril, which goes all the way down to the stomach.
Topologically speaking, a vagina is, indeed, not a hole.
Good point
