Detailed explanation-1: -The rectum is the lower part of the large intestine that connects to the sigmoid colon . It is about 15 cm (6 in) long. It receives waste from the colon and stores it until it passes out of the body through the anus.
Detailed explanation-2: -The solid waste formed is called feces. It continues to move through the descending and sigmoid colons. The large intestine temporarily stores the feces prior to elimination.
Detailed explanation-3: -A cecostomy (see KOSS toe me) tube is also called a C-tube. It is a non-latex tube or catheter placed in the first part of the large intestine, also called the cecum (Picture 1). A procedure called an irrigation is done to provide a comfortable, convenient way to clean out the bowel.
