Stoker J – The anorectum and pelvic floor are crucial in maintaining continence, facilitating evacuation, providing pelvic organ support while in females the pelvic floor is part of the birth canal. The anal sphincter is a multilayered cylindrical structure, including the smooth muscle internal sphincter and the outer striated muscle layer. The latter comprises the external sphincter as lower outer half and puborectalis as upper outer half of the sphincter. The external sphincter is continuous with the rectum at the anorectal junction.
