Sphincters are circumferential muscles that can relax or constrict to regulate the passage of material through a particular area. The stomach is bound by two sphincters in humans: the lower esophageal sphincter that keep stomach acid in the stomach and the pyloric sphincter that regulates the flow of food in the stomach into the duodenum.

Sphincters prevent material from flowing backwards, like the pyloric sphincter in the stomach.

there 2 kinds of sphincters the cardiac and pyloric the cardiac prevents the bolus from going back to the oesophagus cardiac sphincters allows the bolus to enter the stomach the pyloric sphincters prevents food from going to the duodenum the pyloric sphincter allows the chyme to enter the duodenum hope it was helpful :)
What sphincters are use during digestion?
I can think of 5 off the top of my head. Cardiac Sphincter at the top of the stomach. Pyloric Sphincter at the distal end of the stomach. Ileocecal Valve that separates the Small and Large intestines and the Internal and External Anal sphincters.
