Explanation:

Identify the last and longest portion of the small intestine

The small intestine consists of three parts in order: the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum. The ileum is the final and longest segment of the small intestine, measuring about 3 meters (9.8 feet) in length. It connects to the cecum of the large intestine. Therefore, the correct option is "ileum". This utilizes Gastrointestinal Terminology.

Identify the term for the inability to control fecal excretion

The inability to control the excretion of feces is medically defined as bowel incontinence (or fecal incontinence). Constipation refers to infrequent or difficult bowel movements. An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus. Hematochezia is the passage of fresh blood through the anus, usually in or with stools. Therefore, the correct option is "bowel incontinence". This utilizes Gastrointestinal Terminology.
