∙ 14y agoWell, let's see, the 4 sphincters I can think of are:
1. at the end of the esophagus and beginning of stomach, to prevent regurgitation of food and stomach acid into the esophagus
2. at the end of (other end of) the stomach and at the beginning of the small intestine
3. the urinary sphincter
4. the rectal sphincter

The basic steps the food undergoes once its taken in are 1.Ingestion 2.Digestion 3.Absorption 4.Defecation The whole system can be divided in to two regions a) The upper GI and b)The lower GI The upper GI consists of mouth,pharynx,esophagus and stomach which are involved in the process of intake of the food that is ingestion and in digestion of the food. Whereas the remaining processes takes place in the lower GI which contains bowel or intestine and anus.Absorption and defecation takes place in the lower GI. The bowel consists of Small intestine:-Duodenum,Jejunum,Ileum Large intestine:-Cecum,colon,rectum. There are several gastrointestinal hormones which control the various functions of the GI.
