Food that leaves the stomach is called chyme. The chyme passes through a short passage called a duodenum. The duodenum releases enzymes which help digest the chyme before it passes into the small intestine. The small intestine absorbs the nutrients into the blood stream, and then passes digested chyme into the large intestine. The large intestine re-absorbs the water that was mixed into the chyme in the stomach, duodenum, and small intestine. The large intesting then compacts the undigested material into the stool, which passes into the descending colon. . When sufficient stool collects in the colon, it passes into the rectum. When stool collects the rectum, you develop an urge to defecate, which is the expulsion of the stool from rectum out the anus.
