defecation

Defecation is the process of eliminating waste from the digestive system through the rectum and anus. After the body digests food, the remaining waste, called stool or feces, moves into the rectum, signaling the need to go. When ready, the muscles around the anus relax, allowing the stool to exit the body. This process helps rid the body of indigestible substances and waste products, maintaining overall health. It is a natural, involuntary process that occurs regularly in healthy individuals.
