the anus is chemical
The anus is not involved in either chemical or mechanical digestion. Its main function is to expel indigestible material out of the body in the form of feces.
Food passes through the following organs in order during the process of digestion: mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus. Each organ plays a specific role in breaking down the food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
Yes. Rectum is the location where fecal material waits for ejection from the body. Anus is where it is ejected.
In the fetal pig, the rectum and anus have nothing to do with digestion - fetal pigs receive all their nutrition through exchanges with the mother's blood in the placenta. After birth, the rectum is responsible for removing any remaining excess water from the solid excrement to maintain proper water balance in the pig. Otherwise, neither the rectum nor the anus have any function in digestion - they function to excrete waste products.
Whatever matter reaches the anus is at the end of the road as far as digestion is concerned and the anus is more concerned with excretion. The food is mechanically digested in the mouth by the teeth and tongue and chemically digested there by your saliva. It is then mechanically digested in the stomach where it's contents are mixed together with muscular contractions and chemically digested with hydrochloric acid and pepsin, etc. It is then moved to the small intestine where other things are added like pancreatic enzymes and bile, where some mechanical digestion takes place when peristalsis occurs that moves the matter through the alimentary canal, but mostly here it is chemically digested. The large intestine mainly removes excess water from the matter and helps to form solid matter for excretion. It is retained in the rectum until the sphincter muscles in the anus relax and allow for the passage of the stool. If anything though, it would be mechanical.

The rectum is the final part of the digestive tract, and is where faeces, the waste products of digestion, are stored until they are expelled from the body. All the waste will then leave by the anus.
the rectum
The anus is the exit point of the digestive system where waste (feces) is expelled from the body. It does not play a role in digestion, as the digestion process primarily occurs in the stomach and intestines. The anus's main function is to control the release of waste from the body.
The naturally occurring opening at the terminal end of the large intestine is the anus.
