The function of the pyloric sphincter is that it controls the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestine.
In adults the pyloric muscle or valve can be closed by scarring (from ulceration) or cancer. Sometimes pyloric stenosis in infancy is not severe enough to warrant surgery and for whatever reason some of these children grow up still having problems with their pyloric function. Problems with the pyloric sphincter in adults can be managed by medication, lifestyle changes, and/or surgery.
Pyloric sphincter controls the movement of food from stomach to duodenum. With parasympathetic or vagal stimulation it opens up or relaxes and with sympathetic stimulation it contracts or closes.
Duodenal is not a sphincter. The other options (esophageal, pyloric, ileocecal) are all sphincters.
The two sphincters of the stomach are the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), located at the junction of the esophagus and stomach, and the pyloric sphincter, found at the junction of the stomach and the small intestine.
the pyloric sphincter regulates the speed at which the chyme (mixture of food from stomach) can enter into the small intestine to be digested. The pyloric sphincter opens and closes according to the acidity of the chyme.
The pyloric sphincter, or valve, is a strong ring of smooth muscle at the end of the pyloric canal and lets food pass from the stomach to the duodenum. It receives sympathetic innervation from celiac ganglion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pylorus
The pyloric sphincter regulates passage of chymefrom the stomach
the control of releasing material from the pyloric area of the stomach.
The ring like muscle that controls the flow from the stomach to the small intestine is called the pylorus or the pyloric sphincter. It is divided into two parts: the pyloric antrum which is connected to the body of the stomach and the pyloric canal which is connected to the beginning of the small intestine (the duodenum).
The pyloric sphincter regulates passage of chyme from the stomach.

Yes, The pyloric sphincter valve regulates the exit of digested food from the stomach to the small intestine.
This is called the pyloric region. A sphincter called the pyloric sphincter is found there.
