What organ does waste go through after the large intestines?
The only thing that waste goes through after the large intestine is the rectum (which is a structure but not really an organ).
Where does the food go after passing the large intestine?
It goes into your rectum so that it can be passed out your anus as waste...As in a bowel movement (Poo)!!
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.

The anus is like a door that opens when you need to go and it lets out the feces (waste) that has been in the rectum for a while.

The anus is attached or right underneath the rectum, and the anus pushes the food to your bottom or bladder for you to go to the washroom.
Were does the food go after the small intestien?
Food moves from the large intestine to the small intestine. Food waste is then stored in the rectum until expelled through the anus.

Trace the digestion of Spaghetti dinner from the mouth?
It would start in the mouth, be mechanically chewed with your teeth, then travel through the pharynx and esophagus, in the form of a bolus. Then the bolus would go into your stomach and form into chyme, which would then travels through the small and large intestines, and the colon. Eventually the chyme would be excreted out of your rectum and anus.
