  • The Anatomy of the Rectum and Anal Canal
    BASIC SCIENCE identify the rectosigmoid junction with confidence at operation. The anatomy of the rectum The rectosigmoid junction usually lies approximately 6 cm below the level of the sacral promontory. Approached from the distal and anal canal end, however, as when performing a rigid or flexible sigmoid- oscopy, the rectosigmoid junction is seen to be 14e18 cm from Vishy Mahadevan the anal verge, and 18 cm is usually taken as the measurement for audit purposes. The rectum in the adult measures 10e14 cm in length.

Outline the support provided by the bones, muscles and fasciae of the abdomen and pelvis which contribute to the support and protection of the gastrointestinal tract. 2. Define the parietal and visceral peritoneum and know which organs are suspended within the peritoneum and which are retroperitoneal. 3. Understand the arrangement of the mesenteries and ligaments through which vessels and nerves reach the organs. 4. Outline the gross structures, anatomical relations and functional significance of the major functional divisions of the gastrointestinal tract. Background reading Rogers: Chapter 16: The muscles and movements of the trunk 29: The peritoneal cavity 30: Oesophagus and Stomach 31: Small and large intestines 3 HUMB2040/ABD/SHP/97 4 Abdominopelvic regions The abdominopelvic cavity extends from the inferior surface of the diaphragm to the superior surface of the pelvic floor (levator ani), and contains the majority of the gastrointestinal tract from the terminal portion of the oesophagus to the middle third of the rectum. Its contents are protected from injury by three structures: the lower bony and cartilagineous ribs (which will be covered in the next part of the course), the muscles of the lateral and anterior abdominal body wall and the bony pelvis. The pelvis serves to (a) surround and protect the pelvic contents, such as the lower portion of the gastrointestinal tract and urogenital organs, (b) provide areas for muscle attachments, and (c) transfer the weight of the trunk to the lower extremities.

    Dr.Hameda abdulmahdi College of Medicine /Dep. of anatomy & histology 2nd stage Large Intestine The large intestine or bowel, which absorbs water and electrolytes and forms indigestible material into feces, has the following regions: the short cecum, with the ileocecal valve and the appendix; the ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid colon; and the rectum, where feces is stored prior to evacuation .The mucosa lacks villi and except in the rectum has no major folds. Less than one-third as long as the small intestine, the large intestine has a greater diameter (6-7 cm). The wall of the colon is puckered into a series of large sacs called haustra (L. sing. haustrum, bucket, scoop). The mucosa of the large bowel is penetrated throughout its length by tubular intestinal glands. These and the intestinal lumen are lined by goblet and absorptive cells, with a small number of enteroendocrine cells. The columnar absorptive cells or colonocytes have irregular microvilli and dilated intercellular spaces indicating active fluid absorption . Goblet cells producing lubricating mucus become more numerous along the length of the colon and in the rectum. Epithelial stem cells are located in the bottom third of each gland. The lamina propria is rich in lymphoid cells and in lymphoid nodules that frequently extend into the submucosa . The richness in MALT is related to the large bacterial population of the large intestine. The appendix has little or no absorptive function but is a significant component of MALT . The muscularis of the colon has longitudinal and circular layers but differs from that of the small intestine, with fibers of the outer layer gathered in three separate longitudinal bands called teniae coli .

    Name: Ginika Obiadi Department: Anatomy Matric No: 18/MHS03/009 Course Code: ANA 212 Course Title: Gross Anatomy of Pelvic and Perineum. Assignment Discuss the Anal canal Anal Canal The anal canal is the terminal segment of the large intestine between the rectum and anus, located below the level of the pelvic diaphragm. It is located within the anal triangle of perineum, between the right and left ischioanal fossa. The aperture at the terminal portion of the anal canal is known as the anus. The anal canal is approximately 2.5 to 4 long, from the anorectal junction to the anus. It is directed downwards and backwards. It is surrounded by inner involuntary and outer voluntary sphincters which keep the lumen closed in the form of an anteroposterior slit. The anal canal is differentiated from the rectum by a transition along the internal surface from endodermal to skin-like ectodermal tissue. Anal canal is traditionally divided into two segments, upper and lower, separated by the pectinate line (also known as the dentate line): Upper zone (Zona columnaris) o mucosa is lined by simple columnar epithelium o features longitudinal folds or elevations of tunica mucosa which are joined together inferiorly by folds of mucous membrane known as anal valves o supplied by the superior rectal artery (a branch of the inferior mesenteric artery) Lower zone o divided into two smaller zones, separated by a white line known Hilton's line: ▪ Zona hemorrhagica - lined by stratified squamous non- keratinized epithelium ▪ Zona cutanea - lined stratified squamous keratinized epithelium, which blends with the surrounding perianal skin o supplied by the inferior rectal artery (a branch of the internal pudendal artery) The anal verge refers to the distal end of the anal canal, a transitional zone between the epithelium of the anal canal and the perianal skin.

  • Large Intestine
    Large Intestine The large intestine is the terminal part of the gastrointestinal tract. The primary digestive function of this organ is to finish absorption, produce some vitamins, form feces, resorb water and eliminate feces from the body. The large intestine runs from the cecum, where it attches to the ileum, to the anus. It borders the small intestine on three sides. Despite its being around half as long as the small intestine – 4.9 feet versus 10 feet (1.5 – 3 meters) – it is called the large intestine because it is more than twice the diameter of the small intestine, 2.5 inches versus one inch (6 cm versus 2.5 cm). The large intestine is tethered to the posterior abdominal wall by the mesocolon, a double layer of peritoneal membrane. The large intestine is subdivided into four main regions: the cecum, the colon, the rectum, and the anus. The ileocecal valve, located at the opening between the ileum in the small intestine and the large intestine, controls the flow of chyme from the small to the large intestine. Large Intestine Anatomical Structures Like the small intestine, the mucosa of the large intestine has intestinal glands that contain both absorptive and goblet cells. However, there are several notable differences between the walls of the large and small intestines. For example, other than the anal canal, the mucosa of the colon is simple columnar epithelium. In addition, the wall of the large intestine has no circular folds, no villi, and essentially no enzyme- secreting cells. This is because most nutrients are already absorbed before chyme enters the large intestine.

  • Diagnosis and Diagnostic Imaging of Anal Canal Cancer
    Diagnosis and Diagnostic Imaging of Anal Canal Cancer a, b Kristen K. Ciombor, MD, MSCI *, Randy D. Ernst, MD , c Gina Brown, MBBS, MRCP, FRCR KEYWORDS Anal canal cancer Magnetic resonance imaging 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography Anoscopy Endoanal ultrasound KEY POINTS Anal canal cancer can present with rectal bleeding, pain, or change in bowel habits and is often a delayed diagnosis owing to the similarity of symptoms to common benign conditions. Staging procedures for anal canal cancer can include anoscopy, biopsy, computed tomography, MRI, endoanal ultrasound imaging, and/or 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-PET. Imaging modalities for detection, staging, evaluation of treatment response and surveil- lance of anal canal cancer are sensitive and robust. INTRODUCTION Anal canal cancer is a relatively uncommon malignancy, with an incidence of approx- imately 30,000 cases annually worldwide.1 Owing to the unique location and anatomy of this malignancy, careful examination and diagnostic procedures are necessary for optimal staging and treatment. This article focuses on the underlying anatomy of the anorectal region, important imaging characteristics of the anus, common clinical pre- sentations of anal canal cancer, and the diagnostic procedures required for adequate staging and treatment of this cancer type.

Article Received on 22/06/2019 Article Revised on 12/07/2019 Article Accepted on 02/08/2019 ABSTRACT The pelvic floor is a striated muscular structure providing enclosure to the bladder, uterus, and rectum. It plays significant role in storage and evacuation of urine and stool. This article reviews the anatomy of the anal sphincters and the pelvic ûoor. The internal and external anal sphincters are responsible for maintaining faecal continence at rest and when continence is threatened, respectively. Defecation is a somato-visceral reûex regulated by dual nerve supply (i.e. somatic and autonomic) to the anorectum. The net effects of sympathetic and cholinergic stimulation are to increase and reduce anal resting pressure, respectively. Faecal incontinence and functional defecatory disorders may result from structural changes and/or functional disturbances in the mechanisms of faecal continence and defecation. KEYWORDS: The pelvic floor is anorectum. INTRODUCTION The deep muscles also known as the levator ani muscle originate from the pectinate line of pubic bone and the Pelvic floor is a funnel or dome-shaped muscular sheet fascia of obturator internus muscle and are inserted into made up of striated muscle which is placed such that it coccyx.
