Anus

The anus is an amazing part of our body that performs many important functions. It is an opening in the lower part of the digestive tract and is where stool passes out. In order for this function to be performed correctly, it is necessary that the anus be open and under the control of two types of sphincter: The external sphincter, which is controlled by consciousness, and the internal sphincter, which is involuntary and works automatically. While the anus is closed at all times, it can open when necessary, such as during bowel movements.

However, many people experience problems with the functioning of the anal canal, which can present with various symptoms such as pain, burning, bleeding, inflammation or even constipation. These problems can be caused by a variety of reasons, including infections, allergies, bowel problems, or even mental problems.

In such cases, it is important to consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment of diseases associated with the anal canal. Treatment may include medications, diet changes, and exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to help restore function of the anal area.

The anus, or Latin name "anus", is the opening that connects the lower end of the digestive system to the external environment. This is the part of the intestine through which stool and feces pass. Although the surface of the anus may seem unattractive, it is important to know more about it in order to understand many aspects of the human body.

The anus opens from the anal funnel, which is an internal passage in the pelvic area. Most of the activity of the anus is controlled by two sphincters: external (voluntary) and internal (involuntary). The external sphincter is controlled by the will of the person, it can be closed or opened by the person at will. The internal sphincter, also called the anal sphincter, is involuntary in nature. When a person defecates, the internal sphincter contracts and relaxes again after the act of defecation is completed. Due to the combined action of the external and internal sphincter, the anus cannot open simultaneously during bowel movements and should not be open all the time. The anus and its associated sections of the intestine function together and depend on each other's work.

One of the functions of the anus is the formation of feces and their removal to the outside. The waste deposits come from the large intestine and rectal tube, where they accumulate to form fecal bolus. This process provides the necessary pressure to remove waste into the rectal tube and finally into the anus. The anus provides a way to control the cleaning process
