There are many sphyncter muscles along the digestive tract, the pyloric, the duadenum, the anus etc. their function is kind of like a valve. relaxing a sphyncter is like opening a tap in order to let substances pass. Without them you would constantly cough up stomach acid. Your food would go straight through you improperly processed and at a rate such that your gall bladder would not be able to neutralise the acidity in your stomach contense, which would damage your intestines. You would not be able to hold feaces or urine. It would simply leak out. so yeah. pretty important.
