It is called pyloric sphincter and it regulates the passage of digested food from the stomach onto the duodenum ( small intestine ).
The ringlike muscle at the base of the stomach that controls the flow of partially digested food into the duodenum of the small intestine is called the pyloric sphincter. It regulates the passage of chyme from the stomach to the small intestine, ensuring that food is released in a controlled manner for further digestion and absorption. This muscle plays a crucial role in the digestive process by preventing backflow and allowing for optimal nutrient breakdown.

The ring of muscle that controls the passage of material from the stomach into the small intestine.
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 the passage of chyme into the duodenum (sm. intestine).

The structure that controls the release of material from the stomach to the small intestine is the Illeocecal valve. The structure that functions to prevent entrance of food into the trachea is the epiglottis.
The pyloric sphincter valve is a ring of muscle at the exit of the stomach that controls the flow of partially digested food (chyme) into the small intestine. It functions by regulating the passage of chyme from the stomach in small amounts to aid in digestion and prevent the small intestine from being overwhelmed.
