Cholesterol (C) is also a component, as it is excreted in bile and can end up in feces. Mucus (D) is present as it lines the gastrointestinal tract and is mixed with the stool. Protein (E) is not typically a significant component of solids of elimination as proteins are generally digested and absorbed by the body, except in cases of disease or malabsorption.
