Detailed explanation-1: -The rectum is where feces are stored until they leave the digestive system through the anus as a bowel movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -The small bowel delivers the waste to the colon, or large bowel. The colon is a 5-6 foot long muscular tube that delivers stool to the rectum. As the stool moves through the colon, the fluids are removed and absorbed into the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Temporary colostomies Certain lower bowel problems are treated by giving part of the bowel a rest. It’s kept empty by keeping stool from getting to that part of the bowel. To do this, a short-term (temporary) colostomy is created so that the bowel can heal.

Detailed explanation-4: -A colostomy further down in the colon, near the rectum, will put out stool that has been in the intestine a longer time. Depending on the effects of illness, medicines, or other forms of treatment, the longer colon can put out a more solid or formed stool.
