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: -The main excretory function of the large intestine is to eliminate solid waste that remains after food is digested and water is extracted from the indigestible matter. The large intestine also collects and excretes wastes from throughout the body, including bilirubin in bile .
