The rectum is typically about 12 to 15 centimeters (4.7 to 5.9 inches) long in adults before it transitions into the anal canal. This segment serves as a storage area for feces before elimination. The rectum has a slight curvature, which contributes to its function and structure. Factors such as individual anatomy and age can lead to variations in length.
