Overview of the Digestive System 

n I have an ileostomy. My large intestine was removed and my small intestine protrudes through my abdomen. I poo uncontrollably into a bag, which i change each day... at which point i get to say hello to my small intestine (stoma)... it resembles a bit of arctic red salmon sushi poking out my stomach. It wriggles around lots, like it has a mind and personality of its own... its a cool fact that your digestive system has more neurones than the brain. Because i lost my large intestine, I struggle to absorb water and salt... although my small intestine has adapted over time to absorb more water than a normal person. How did i get here? I had ulcerative colitis which got so bad i almost died from toxic megacolon. How did it get this bad? Through misdiagnosis and ignoring worsening symptoms until it was too late... i thank every day that I am alive, and have come to embrace life with a stoma... but if you are reading this, i encourage you to find out about crones and colitis and educate others about these all too common illnesses.

I'm probably not in your targeted demographic (military officer, but plan on pursuing medicine when I'm finished serving) but your videos and podcast have been an incredible learning tool. With only a minimum science background, mainly just AP classes with some college courses, your content is easily digestible. Thank you! I'd would like to donate if possible! Keep up the excellent work.

Thank you so much for the quick overview. I am a visual learner and your drawings are excellent, simple, and really helpful for me!

Excretion refers to physiological removal of metabolic waste products from body cells, defecation is not considered as excretion (feaces are not from cells).
