Answer 2

Rectum, terminal segment of the digestive system

in which feces accumulate just prior to discharge.

The rectum is continuous with the sigmoid colon and extends 13 to 15 cm

to the anus.

A muscular sheet called the pelvic diaphragm runs perpendicular

to the juncture of the rectum and anal canal and maintains

a constriction between these two segments of the large intestine.

The internal cavity of the rectum is divided into three or four chambers;

each chamber is partly segmented from the others by

permanent transverse folds that help to support the rectal contents.

A sheath of longitudinal muscle surrounds the outside wall of the rectum,

making it possible for the rectum to shorten in length.
