Expert Solution
Step 1

The small and large intestines from the duodenum to the anus are part of the lower gastrointestinal tract. Food remnants, microbes, digestive fluids, and mucus make up the stuff that travels down the lower GI tract. Feces make up the combination of these components. The movement of feces towards the anus, the reception of electrolytes and water, and the disposal of food wastes are often all impacted by disorders of the lower GI tract.
