Best Answer

Yes, but only in a sense. Feces can contain cells and parts of dead cells but, since it is composed of wastes from food ingestion and digestion and from the body's other metabolic processes and is not a living organism itself, it doesn't have its own functioning cells. It has only cells incorporated into the debris awaiting elimination in the bowel. Stool also contains cells of organisms like bacteria and sometimes parasites, some skin cells, some blood cells and other cells from the body that are introduced to the gastrointestinal tract and then eliminated.

What is the flashpoint of poop?

It depends on the temperature of the feces and the freshness. Fresh warm feces is rich in methane (CH4) which is highly flammable would have a flash point of about -186 Celsius. The methane releases as the feces cools and dries which is where the composition of the feces comes in. Dry ambient temperature feces will have variable flash point depending on what the depositor last ate before passing the feces. A grass fed animal's feces will have a flash point around 120 degrees Celsius, where as human feces from an individual with a "meat and potato" diet would be approximately 280 degrees Celsius.


How do oxygen and digestive foods get into your body cells?

Through the blood stream The "unwanted food" goes into your feces, while the rest goes into your blood stream. Each cell in your body needs a little energy. The cells have a neucleus and a covering, the food/energy that the cell needs is ingested into the cell while the unwanted items go to your feces, and if there is extra it goes into fat. Your body has fat to survive for the times where food is unavailable.
