Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology , 08/10/09
Bajwa A et al. – Continence is maintained by the coordinated function of the pelvic floor, rectum and anal sphincters. Evacuation occurs through a relaxed pelvic floor. The rectum acts to either store or expel stool both of which require cortical sensory awareness acting in conjunction with intramural and spinal reflexes that ensure timely defecation. The anal sphincters act individually and in unison in response to rectal distension and the sensation of rectal filling.
