Waste builds up inside our intestines as the result of digesting food. While some call it "poo" and other slang or rude terms, the proper terms include feces (faeces in the UK), stool, bowel movement, and excrement. It builds up until such time as our body is ready to expel it. All this happens without any conscious activity on our part.

Excreting it is just a matter of relaxing and contracting the muscles that retain it within the bowel. These muscles pass the stools through the anus. Then hopefully you thoroughly wipe that part of the body when you are done and wash your hands.
