'das Arschloch' and 'der Anus' can both refer to the same body opening. The big difference is in tone. 'der Anus' is the medical or factual term, for example at the doctor's or in a specialist text. 'das Arschloch', by contrast, is very vulgar and almost never fits in polite or neutral conversations. In addition, 'Arschloch' is very often used as an insult for a person. If you want to talk about the body factually, 'Anus' is more precise and more neutral.
