You mean the rectum. The rectum is the tube that holds feces until we can expel the feces on the toilet. The anus is merely the name of an opening that has a sphincter of muscular tissue around it to hold the anus closed. By saying feces "enters" the anus, you're meaning that feces is already partway out of the body because the anus does NOT "hold" anything. The rectum does.


Where does food go after leaving the colon?
