What does a rectum do?

Answer 1

It is stored there for a while of time until it is released through the anus. Nothing much happens in it because it has already been broken down a lot from the other organs, and enzymes have been added.

Answer 2

By the time that food matter reaches the rectum, it's in stool form. There's no more substantial digestion. The rectum is kind of like a holding tank for stool to be contained until it can be defecated out at a convenient time.

Answer 3

The rectum is found at the end of the large intestine, and connected to the outside opening, the anus. The rectum is the final holding place for feces. When the rectum is full, muscles start contracting to push waste out of the body.

Answer 4

The rectum is the last portion of the large intestine. It stores solid waste until it is released from the body by the opening known as the anus.

Answer 5

The rectum is responsible for controlling the release of solid wastes from the body. This mostly occurs in the excretory system.

Answer 6

The rectum is where the feces gathers just prior to being evacuated into a toilet.
