How excreta is formed?
It occurs when insufficient fluid is absorbed by the colon. As part of the digestion process, or due to fluid intake, food is mixed with large amounts of water. Thus, digested food is essentially liquid prior to reaching the colon. The colon absorbs water, leaving the remaining material as a semisolid stool.
Where does the poop start?
The beginning of the bowel is the small intestine, sometimes referred to as the small bowel. This is where the useful nutrients are absorbed from what you eat. The small bowel delivers the waste to the colon, or large bowel. The colon is a 5-6 foot long muscular tube that delivers stool to the rectum.
Is there always poop in your colon?
Your Colon Is Never Empty
Many people believe that they have emptied out their colons after multiple bouts of diarrhea or that they can keep their colon empty by avoiding food. However, since stool is made up in large part of bacteria, fecal matter is continuously being formed.
Where does long poop come from?
The long, sausage-like shape of poop is due to the shape of the intestines. Passed once or twice daily: Most people pass stool once a day, although others may poop every other day or up to three times daily. At a minimum, a person should pass stool three times a week.

FAQs about stool in the vagina
Instead of stool going through the rectum to the anus, the stool passes through the fistula connection and is expelled from the vagina instead.
What exactly is poop?
Feces are mostly made of water (about 75%). The rest is made of dead bacteria that helped us digest our food, living bacteria, protein, undigested food residue (known as fiber), waste material from food, cellular linings, fats, salts, and substances released from the intestines (such as mucus) and the liver.
Why do people poop?
“Obviously, we poop to eliminate fecal material, which consists of undigested food, the lining of our GI, or gastrointestinal tract (which sheds its surface layer every few days), plus bacteria,” Dr. Griglione says.
Why does our poop smell?
It's perfectly normal for poop to have an unpleasant odor. The smell comes from bacteria in the colon that help break down digested food.
Is pooping a lot bad?
There is no generally accepted number of times a person should poop. As a broad rule, pooping anywhere from three times a day to three times a week is normal. Most people have a regular bowel pattern: They'll poop about the same number of times a day and at a similar time of day.
Do girls poop?
Do girls poop? [response: Why?] Yes, in fact – can you believe it – girls behave like actual human beings. As to why, the body is fairly adept at taking the nutrients it needs from food, but there's always stuff left over. Without pooping, things would get pretty uncomfortable pretty fast.
Is poop healthy to eat?
According to the Illinois Poison Center, eating poop is “minimally toxic.” However, poop naturally contains the bacteria commonly found in the intestines. While these bacteria don't harm you when they're in your intestines, they're not meant to be ingested in your mouth.
What color poop is unhealthy?
All shades of brown and even green are considered normal. Only rarely does stool color indicate a potentially serious intestinal condition. Stool color is generally influenced by what you eat as well as by the amount of bile — a yellow-green fluid that digests fats — in your stool.
