Along the way food passes through accessory digestive organs such as the liver, gallbladder, etc.
The small intestine absorbs nutrients, the main function of the large intestine is to absorb water. The large intestine also contains bacteria, called intestinal flora, to digest undigested food.

What happens when food enters the anus?
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.
