Solid waste passes through the large intestine where the nutrients are digested and taken into the body by osmosisi. It continues on thru the digestive tract via waves of peristalsis, where digestion is assisted by the addition of digestive enzymes all thru the process . It then reaches the rectal vault , which is where it's stored (as faeces). It is then released out of the body via the anus.
