How does your rectum break down food?
The rectum doesn't do anything to break down food. By the time "food" reaches the large intestine, what was at one time "food" is then liquefied waste. In the small intestines, fluid is added. So in the large intestines, the fluid is pulled back out of the waste and then pushed toward the kidneys to process it. As the fluid is pulled back, the liquefied wastes become semi-solid (to very dry solid if constipated). After going through the last part of the large intestines, the solid waste (stool, feces) is pushed into the top of the rectum. The rectum acts as a holding receptacle and as a nerve center that sets off a "gotta go" signal through a feeling of fullness, e.g. pressure on the nerves in the walls of the rectum. The rectum is about 10-12cm in length. So it can hold a lot of waste. Also, because the intestines and rectum are basically round tubes, resulting in us having a mostly rounded stool (unless we end up with too much water left in the waste, resulting in diarrhea. As you can see, the rectum has nothing to do with breaking down food.
What is the travel of food through the body?
Food travels through the body starting in the mouth where it is chewed and mixed with saliva before passing down the esophagus into the stomach. From the stomach, it moves into the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed, and then into the large intestine where water is absorbed and waste material is formed. Finally, the waste material is expelled from the body through the rectum and anus.
What food types are digested in the rectum?
