Is anus the site of initiation of the defecation reflex?
Yes. The anus is actually composed of a few different elements that contribute to the defecation reflex. First, the anal canal is at the lower end of the rectum and is the temporary storage place for feces. When enough feces is in the canal, the pressure triggers the internal anal sphincter (circular muscle) to send a signal to the brain that you need to defecate. If it is not convenient to do so at the time, the external anal sphincter prevents the feces from exiting the anus and suppresses the urge to defecate. This may occur several times until the inevitable happens and the external sphincter has to allow the internal to let go, and voila, another defecation occurs.
