anal/rectal diseases

The final region of the digestive system, the rectum has similar basic functions as the rest of the colon for absorption of water and minerals into blood, and preparation of the feces to leave the digestive tract. The cells of the rectum are glandular and secret mucus used in production of feces and to lubricate the lower portions of colon. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Health; Anal/Rectal Diseases]
