The anal rectal ridge, also known as the anorectal junction, is located at the boundary between the rectum and the anal canal. It marks the transition area where the rectal mucosa changes to the stratified squamous epithelium of the anal canal. This ridge plays a role in the anatomy and function of the anal sphincter and is important for maintaining continence.
