There are, however, some differences. The main difference is the powerful phasic contractions, termed rectal motor complex (RMC), which occurs approximately every 60–120 min [13, 17, 33].

The density of these collagenous fibers increases through fetal development, and smooth muscle cells are integrated into the coronal plate at the rectal wall. 3 Normal continence and defecation is achieved through a complex interaction between peroral intake, the upper gastrointestinal tract (digestion, secretion and propulsion), and colorectoanal function. Accordingly, continence and defecation can be severely disturbed secondary to abnormal eating patterns or disturbed digestion and propulsion in the small bowel.

There are, however, some differences. The main difference is the powerful phasic contractions, termed rectal motor complex (RMC), which occurs approximately every 60–120 min [13, 17, 33].
