Interstitial cells of cajal (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ICC<\/jats:styled-content>) play an important role in regulation of intestinal smooth muscle contraction. However, changes in <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ICC<\/jats:styled-content> volume with age in the terminal <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">GI<\/jats:styled-content> tract (the anal canal including the anal sphincter region and rectum) have not been studied.

No age\u2010associated change in <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ICC<\/jats:styled-content> morphology was detected. The thickness of the circular muscle layer of the anal sphincter region and rectum increased with age, while that in the distal colon decreased.
