[The last part of the gastrointestinal canal, the rectum and the anus, take care of a number of specialized functions. These are to retain the produced feces until a suitable moment for defecation has arrived and, subsequently, to achieve effective expulsion of the fecal mass. The rectum and the anal sphincter exert these functions in close collaboration with the pelvic floor. Thus, smooth muscle (rectal muscles and internal anal sphincter [IAS]) and striated muscle (pelvic floor and external anal sphincter [EAS]) work closely together in this area. Disordered functioning of the anus, rectum, and pelvic floor can result in two groups of functional problems: impaired defecation and fecal incontinence.]
