Feces are moved through the large intestine primarily by peristalsis, which involves rhythmic contractions of the intestinal muscles that propel the contents forward. Additionally, the presence of feces in the colon triggers the stretching of the intestinal walls, stimulating further contractions. Water is absorbed from the waste material as it moves along, leading to the formation of more solid feces. Ultimately, the coordinated action of muscle contractions and absorption helps in the efficient elimination of waste from the body.

Where does food exit the body?
Food that has not been digested leaves the body as waste. This food is moved through the intestines and leaves through the anus.
What is the sequential process of waste removal from the human body?
The sequential process of waste removal from the human body begins with ingestion, where food is consumed and digested in the gastrointestinal tract. Nutrients are absorbed in the intestines, while waste products are formed and eventually moved to the large intestine. Here, water is reabsorbed, and the remaining material is compacted into feces. Finally, waste is expelled from the body through the rectum during defecation.
How does food become feces?
The food goes into your mouth and gets mushed up by your tongue and teeth. Then it goes down a big long pipe into your small intestine. The enzymes in the intestine break up the larger parts of the food that your mouth couldn't do. All of the small pieces of food go through the holes inside the wall of your intestine and into your blood pipe and around your body in your blood. The bits that can't fit through the holes get moved into your large intestine and get mushed together. After that the water gets sucked out of the food and the food comes out of your anus as feaces/poo.
What happen to bits of dirt and bacteria that get caught in the mucus?
Bits of dirt and bacteria that get caught in mucus are usually moved by cilia towards the throat where they can be swallowed and passed through the digestive system. In the digestive system, the bacteria are destroyed by stomach acid and enzymes, while the dirt is expelled from the body through feces.
What is a Large molecules like carbohydrates are moved through the cell membrabe?
Large molecules like carbohydrates are moved through the cell membrane via a process called facilitated diffusion or active transport. Facilitated diffusion involves the use of specific transport proteins embedded in the membrane to help the molecules pass through, while active transport requires energy in the form of ATP to move the molecules against their concentration gradient.

What happens to food waste?
All materials not fully absorbed into the body within the digestive system is moved into down the large and small intestines and then excreted in a typically solid state through the anus, creating dung.
Does gravity force food through the digestive system and why?
No, the food is moved by the muscle action of the intestines, beginning with the esophagus. The reason that the muscle-action is needed is because the coils of the intestines go in all directions, including upwards.
In the body does the big intestine come first or the small one?
Food passes from the stomach to the small intestines where most of the nutrients are broken down and absorbed. From the small intestines the balance of the nutrients move to the large intestine where water is extracted and feces is moved to the rectum.
What digestive system experiences chemical breakdown?
The digestive system that experiences chemical breakdown is the Gastro intestinal. Chemical matter is then moved on through the small intestines.
What does constpaided mean?
constipation is a condition in which the person is having difficulty emptying his/her bowels. (Going #2) Constipation is caused by 1 of 2 conditions: 1. Materials that you eat (food) is moved through the small and large intestines by a special action called peristalses. Imagine the intestines contracting in a wave like motion, pushing food through the intestines. It would be as though your garden hose had something around it and was pushed toward the opening, forcing all of the water out of the hose. If something interferes with peristalses, you could become constipated. 2. If the digested food does not have enough liquid, it can become hard and difficult to pass. That too is a form of constipation. Some medications and inactivity can contribute to diminished peristalses, so read labels before taking a medication that may cause constipation. Foods that are low in fiber may result in feces that becomes hard and difficult to pass.
How does a horse digestive system work?
A horse's digestive system operates in the same fashion as a human does, except that after chyme exits the small intestine, it goes into the large cecum to undergo fermentation (a similar process as that in the rumen of a cow) before it is moved into the large intestine and digesta expelled as feces.
What is eliminating waste?
Is when the materials move through the large intestine, water is absorbed into the bloodstream. The material is then moved from the large intestine into the rectum where waste materials are compressed into a solid and finally eliminated from the body through the anus.
What excretes feces?
When you eat food, your digestive system (including the stomach and intestines) digests the food, drawing nutrients, fats, sugars, etc. from the food. After the body has absorbed what it wants or needs to absorb, the rest of the food is then passed through and out of the system in the form of feces.
