AI overview

Feces are the solid or semi-solid waste that your body produces after digesting food—they consist mainly of undigested food that was broken down by bacteria in your large intestine, along with small amounts of metabolic waste and dead cells from your gut lining. Understanding feces matters because they represent what your digestive system couldn't use and need to be eliminated from your body.

Ontlasting of feces (Latijn: faeces) is het onverteerde restant van ingenomen voedsel, dat, met geregelde tussenpozen (als uitwerpselen), via de endeldarm en de anus (aars) uit het lichaam wordt verwijderd (defecatie). Alle organismen met een maag-darmstelsel produceren ontlasting. Bij zoogdieren zoals de mens bevat de ontlasting naast onverteerbare voedselresten vooral bacteriën (ongeveer de helft van het gewicht), afgeschilferde darmwandcellen (tot 10 gram per dag) en enkele stoffen die door het lichaam in de darm worden afgescheiden, zoals galkleurstoffen: zonder die kleurstoffen zou ontlasting grijswit zijn.
