To process this specialized diet, koalas have a close ended digest organ called a caecum, which helps digest the leaf fibers via fermentation.

为了处理这种特殊的食物，考拉有称为肠的近端消化器官，能通过发酵来帮助它消化树叶纤维。

This is called the cecum and this worm-like structure coming off of it is known as the appendix.

这称为肠，从肠脱落的蠕虫状结构称为阑尾。

Now, herbivores eat a huge amount of fiber without getting constipated, ... but their digestive tract is designed for this: they generally have much bigger cecums for fermenting the fiber.

我们知道食草动物因为吃了大量纤维而没有，但要知道他们的消化系统就是为此而设计的：他们通常有更大的肠用于发酵纤维。

So! Once the chyme has worked through your small intestine, it passes through the ileocecal valve and hits the cecum, the first part of the large intestine, where, congratulations, your food is now officially feces!

所以！旦食糜通过你的小肠，它就会穿过回瓣，到达肠，大肠的第部分，恭喜你，你的食物现在正式变成粪了！
