What is a muscle sphincter?
A muscle sphincter is a band of tissue that contracts. The body has several muscle sphincters. Sphincters control back flow of acids and food from the stomach into the esophagus, and the contents of the small intestine from backing up into the stomach. The bladder sphincter controls holding and releasing urine, but helps to prevent bacteria from getting into the bladder. The anal sphincter controls elimination so we don't lose bowel movement in the wrong place or at the wrong time. Though each sphincter is strong, some conditions can wear down the effectiveness of this tissue band. Hiatal hernia can let stomach acids into the esophagus. The urinary sphincter can weaken with pregnancy, obesity, diuretics, and aging. Obesity, overuse of enemas or laxatives, anal sex, and aging can weaken the anal sphincter. Note: No organ is a muscle sphincter, but some organs have muscle sphincters. The main organs that have muscle sphincters are ones that fluid/contents can move in two directions, in and out, and serve to protect those organs from damage. So for example, the bladder is smooth muscle and as an organ has a urinary sphincter.
