Popis: SUMMARY The normal functioning of the act of defaecation requires a coordinated response from the anal sphincteric mechanism to permit easy passage of the faecal bolus. An augmentation of the resting activity in the anal sphincters can lead to constipation whereas a decrease in this activity can be associated with defects in anal control.
