There was some ambiguity in usage of the term 'bowel" but, after reviewing annotations and corresponding literature, I don't think that this is sufficiently significant to justify a separate term. Consequently, the plan is to merge the terms and, or course, include the appropriate synonyms.

"bowel" is often used as a synonym for intestine, but these are siblings in MA:
......po MA:0000323 ! gastrointestinal system [SYNONYM: "alimentary system" (related)] [SYNONYM: "alimentary tract" (related)] .......po MA:0000328 ! intestine .......po MA:0001524 ! bowel
The only child of bowel is "bowel wall". (there is also a "intestine wall").
