On average, we evacuate about 150 grams , which represents 4.5 kilos per month and 54 per year. A person can produce four tons of excrement throughout his life. The approximately 45 million Spaniards generate 6.75 million kilograms daily, approximately the weight of the Eiffel Tower. The feces accumulate in the final section of the large intestine or rectum, a segment of about 15 centimeters in length. When the residual material adds up to around 30 grams, the internal sphincter opens, the muscles that release poop. At the same time, the brain sends a signal to warn of the need to go to the bathroom.
