Why is feces elimination a less frequent event than voiding of urine?

The human body eliminates approximately 3 pints of urine a day. Once liquids and solids are separated, the lungs, kidneys and intestines all function in the elimination of liquid waste. The bladder then stores the urine and it is necessary to urinate each time the bladder fills. The intestinal tract holds the solids for a longer period of time because of it's capacity to do so. The amount of urine passed daily is in direct relationship to the amount of liquids consumed or body hydration/dehydration.
