As chyme passes through the stomach and intestine,it picks up cellular debris and other waste products. When the nutrients are absorbed from the chyme completely, the remaining waste material passes to the end of the large intestine, colon and rectum and is stored as fecal matter until it is ready to be excreted from the body.. ...
