If you're referring to sphincters "guarding" entrances and exits, it means that these specific muscles close the structure to prevent backflow of body fluid. Ex: there is a sphincter between the esophagus and the stomach that "guards" the entrance to prevent the very acidic gastric juice from entering the esophagus and damaging the lining. The muscles around the eye and mouth can also be considered sphincters.
