Defecation is an important process because it allows the body to eliminate waste. If defecation did not occur feces would remain in the colon and the toxins that they contain would be reabsorbed into the body. This is referred to as constipation. Before the introduction of white bread, when people ate high fiber whole grain bread, the rate of colon cancer was very low. Ever since the introduction of white flour in the late 1800's the rate of colon cancer, and other intestinal diseases has risen consistently every decade until now. In extreme cases, when people stop defecating for long periods of time, their feces can get so compacted that they can die.

Is defecating a form of positive feedback?
Answered by, Respicius Rwehumbiza at the University of DodomaYes, defecating a form of positive feedback.Rectal contraction at defecation is suggested to be maintained by positive anorectal feedback evoked by continuous passage of stool through the rectal neck. This feedback appears to be affected through an anorectal excitatory reflex (ARR), which produces rectal contraction upon stimulation of anal stretch receptors. Abortion of this reflex by anal anesthetization seems to result in failure of the rectum to contract and in excessive straining to achieve rectal evacuation. ARR thus is suggested to be a second defecation reflex necessary to continue defecation, whereas the rectoanal inhibitory reflex is the primary reflex.
