Wikipedia

  1. rectal

    The rectum is the final straight portion of the large intestine in humans and some other mammals, and the gut in others. The adult human rectum is about 12 centimetres (4.7 in) long, and begins at the rectosigmoid junction (the end of the sigmoid colon) at the level of the third sacral vertebra or the sacral promontory depending upon what definition is used. Its diameter is similar to that of the sigmoid colon at its commencement, but it is dilated near its termination, forming the rectal ampulla. It terminates at the level of the anorectal ring (the level of the puborectalis sling) or the dentate line, again depending upon which definition is used. In humans, the rectum is followed by the anal canal which is about 4 centimetres (1.6 in) long, before the gastrointestinal tract terminates at the anal verge. The word rectum comes from the Latin rectum intestinum, meaning straight intestine.

Examples of rectal in a Sentence

  1. Alyssa Dweck:

    We see ‘vaginalpHhavoc,’ if you will, break out from [using a toy in the vagina that has just been used for anal play], if you want to use a toy in the anal area, first of all, remember that it has to have some sort of a retrieval device, a string or something along that line. My husband happens to be a colon and rectal surgeon, so I hear of toys getting stuck in the colon because there is nothing to remove it. If you want to switch back and forth between vaginal and anal play thenI would definitely wash the toy in between, and you may want to use a condom on some of the toys as well.

  2. Stephen Breyer:

    We know already that our government treated Zubaydah brutally -- more than 80 waterboarding sessions, hundreds of hours of live burial and what it calls' rectal rehydration,' but as embarrassing as these facts may be, there is no state secret here.
