Be aware of Colorectal symptoms
The Colon & Rectum
The colon and rectum is a hollow tube that runs from the small intestine to the anus. The colon is about 5 to 6 feet long. The function of the colon is to absorb water and store the waste products of digestion until your body is ready to empty them out. The last portion of the colon is called the rectum. At the bottom of the rectum are the sphincter muscles. These muscles prevent the rectum from emptying out accidentally. When the person is ready to have a bowel movement, the sphincter muscles relax and with straining the stool is able to be pushed out.
