human feces

What toilets receive

Human feces is the solid waste discharged from the human digestive tract—a more clinical or formal term than shit or poop.

The phrase appears in medical, scientific, and regulatory contexts: The water tested positive for human feces.

Fecal matter and human waste serve similar formal functions.
