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.

Where does peristalsis move food to?
Peristalsis starts in the back of the tongue and moves food down the esophagus to the stomach. The food is later squeezed into the small intestines where peristalsis moves the food 'bolus' (BOW-luss) down the small intestines to the large intestine, or colon. Peristalsis in the colon moves the bolus into the rectum, which makes you feel like you have to go to the bathroom. Peristalsis in the colon and rectum force the bolus down and out and into the toilet.
