in more simple term i am guessng you are asking why your poo is brown?\n\nthe brown colour is caused by the dead red blood cell that die each day as the can not be digested by the bodies imune system or and other system in the blood this is how youe body disposes of them.\n\nthe different food product that we eat does not entirly effect the colour of the feces but certain foods when ate in very large quantitys does afect the colour i a small way more so in babies are they have not yet developed the body functions to break down these foods and they are building up there red cell blod count so do not dipose of them at a rate that adults do

It could mean you have hepatitus or a liver disorder.\n\nYour fece colour comes from the gall pignment bilirubin, which goes through gall fluid and comes out of the intestines, which is where it's turned into sterkobilin - which gives the feces their colour. Without sterkobilin, the feces are white.  \n\nThis is a common symptom in patients with pancreas cancer where the tumour causes total obstruction of the bile ducts.\n\nYou should see your doctor about this, it could mean you have a disorder.

usually a stain or paint.\nHehehe, just kidding.\nI think it depends on the fluids inside the organ (ie. melanin, bile, urea, amount of blood flow to the organ, etc)\nAre you thinking of one particularily?

It's been proven that colors have an effect on the human psyche. While pink doesn't do anything to weaken someone physically or mentally, you may notice that prisoners are often clothed in light blue/pale blue uniforms because light or pale blue has a calming effect on people, which comes in handy with inmates. Also, a room that's totally white feels at least 10-20 degrees colder than it really is, while red evokes feelings of agression, heat (temperature-wise), and restlessness. Offices (mainly dental offices) have been known to employ earthy colors in their offices and furnish them with living-room-type furniture so their clients are less nervous.

Its brown colouration comes from a combination of bile and dead red blood cells. In newborn babies, fecal matter is initially yellow/green after the meconium. This colouration comes from the presence of bile alone. In time, as the body starts expelling excess dead red blood cells, it acquires its familiar brown appearance. Throughout the life of an ordinary human, one may experience many types of feces. A "green" and sometimes "clay-like" appearance to the feces is a result in a lack of blood cells expelled. Bile overload is very rare, and not a health threat. Food may sometimes appear in the feces. Common undigested foods found in human feces are seeds, nuts, corn, and beans, mainly for their high fiber content.

Because you are seeing reflected light, and typically the light source in your bathroom/kitchen is white light from a bulb or from sunlight.  "Color" is perception based on the reflected wavelengths of light; surfaces absorb some wavelengths and reflect others. We see the reflected wavelengths.  When something "looks" white it is typically because it's reflecting all or almost all wavelengths of light.

Actually your poop should be very long, this is good cause it shows your colon is not backed up any.  If you poop and it is small or just bits and pieces it is a sign your colon is backed up and it needs cleansed.  This has nothing to do with the size of the person or anything crazy as i have seen ppl answer to you.

The dark brown color of soils is due to humus. Humus is the organic part of the soil, formed mostly by humic acids, the result of organic matter degradation. Those acids are brown in color. Other non-humic components include cellulose, chitin, lignins, also brownish in color. \nThe color of stools depends partly on the bilirubins (produced by the degradation of red blood cells). Bilirubins are filtered from the blood by the liver, secreted into the gall bladder and finally added to the digested food when it goes through the small intestin. \n\nIt's true that decomposed organic matter tends to look brownish. This could reflect the fact that many of the colored compounds are "useful" and costly to produce, and are not usually just dumped into the wastes. When one sees colors, it suggests "life"; and those substances usually involve pigments and/or vitamins that are reabsorbed or recycled.\nBut that's not to say that our waste matter does not represent a source of energy for those organisms with more efficient nutrition systems!

Healthy people can have green poop if they eat a diet rich in leafy green vegetables, or if they consume large quantities of food coloring (in ice cream, cake frosting etc.). \n    Green poop can also be caused by excess iron in the diet, from dietary supplements, for example. If the body does not absorb all the iron consumed, the iron may stain the poop green, the color of iron (II) salts. Ordinarily, the green color may be masked by the normal brown poop color, but if digestion is thrown off by illness so that bilirubin is less concentrated in the intestine, the green color may become apparent. This can happen when a person is afflicted with diarrhea. \n    Green poop in sick babies may come from iron in baby formula not being properly absorbed, or by green pigments in bile salts (again, green from iron).

Feces can vary depending on diet. Generally, it should be formed, and soft to slightly firm.

Hair color, eye color, and also skin color are determined by special proteins called pigments.  The pigments in your hair, eyes, and skin are encoded in your genes, which is was these traits are said to be genetic.  All molecules absorb some wavelengths of light and reflect others.  Pigments are typically complex molecules that reflect certain wavelengths in the visible spectrum and absorb others.  Different people have different color pigments because there are minor changes in the DNA sequences that code for the pigments which result in minor changes in the molecules themselves, which in turn change the wavelenghts of light that are reflected and absorbed.  If someone has blue eyes, it is because the pigments in their eyes reflect a lot of wavelenghts of blue light, and absorb most other colors.

the color of the food is recolored by the bile juice . bile juice absorbs the color pigments in turn produces yellow pigment that colors the material . \n10 points pls .
