The rectum. And you can tell it comes first by just looking at a model of the digestive system. The anus is at the tip of your rectum, so the rectum would come first, and the anus would come last. :) :) :) :)
The rectum comes first. The rectum is the final straight portion of the large intestine in some mammals, and the gut in others, terminating in the anus.

lol..yes it is
No. The rectum is the last straight section of the intestines, and the anus is the opening in the end of the rectum.
YES!! Both words refer the ring of muscle affixed between your glutius maximus also known as the sphincter muscle. Additional info

Rectum and anus are two separate things. The rectum is the last 5-6 inches of the large intestine and sits in the pelvis. It leads to the anus, which is the outlet for us to eliminate stool.
