Lateral view of the VM (a) and VW (b) rectum and anal canal. The angle between the rectum (red) and anal canal (pink) in the VM was relatively flat due to post-mortem perineal pressure and does not depict the known angle between the distal rectum and proximal anal canal which was present in the VW.
