		In a typical mammalian body such as the human body, the body orifices are:
		In other organisms with different body plans, there are other body orifices, such as the cloaca in reptiles, and the siphon in cephalopods.

		While these new approaches to the body have problematized the “natural” body and expanded analyses of the relationship between the body and its social, cultural and political institutions, rarely have they seriously troubled the waters of dualism.
		The body is rarely spoken of as agent, subject, or self.
		Indeed, the possibility of the body possessing its own agency is foreclosed by the parameters of the discourse itself.

	The Orifice as Sacrificial Site: Culture, Organization, and the Body Sociology of Religion - Find Articles
		Mulling over the strident body rhetoric in American society that accompanied the impeachment of Bill Clinton, Aho constructs a cross-cultural theory of body orifices that enlarges our understanding of the politics of the body and its link to religion through the organizational categories of society.
		Where the body is 'read' through society, its orifices symbolize weak spots--places where a group can be penetrated and undone, holes that must be policed if the boundaries and the integrity of society are to be maintained.
		Because orifices are anomalous zones of transition between the inside and outside of the body and what goes into them and comes out of them participates in that anomaly.

		The fact that A has the drugs inside an orifice does not mean that she does not 'possess' them.
		Because a person has physical possession of anything he or she has inside his or her body, a person possesses a controlled substance if it is either stored someplace in a retrievable form or floating free in the bloodstream.
		It is not disputed here that the presence of a controlled substance within a person's body might be considered evidence that the person had, at some earlier point in time, possessed a controlled substance.

		However, most other procedures that involve puncture or incision of the skin, or insertion of an instrument or foreign material into the body, including, but not limited to, percutaneous aspirations, biopsies, cardiac and vascular catheterizations, and endoscopies are within the scope of this Protocol.
		Our original advice concerning "orifices" was that site marking was not required for procedures done through or immediately adjacent to "natural body orifices." This was intended to include mid-line orifices such as mouth, anus, urethra.
		However, many procedures done through a mid-line orifice are intended to treat an organ that is "right" or "left" and therefore subject to a lateralization error.
