The circular ring of muscle located at the entrance and exit of the stomach is referred to as a "sphincter" - the one at the entrance to the stomach is referred to as the cardiac sphincter, and the one at the exit of the stomach to the small intestines is referred to as the pyloric sphincter.

LES-Lower Esophageal Sphincter aka Cardiac Sphincter prevents stomach contents from entering the esophagus.UES-Upper Esphageal Sphincter- Reduces air entering the stomachPyloric Sphincter is found at the end of the stomach and control the release of food from the stomach to the small intestine.
Pyloric sphincter is located at the base of the stomach and is the contracting ring of muscle which guards the entrance of the to small intestine.
The pyloric sphincter muscle regulates the flow of chyme from the stomach to the duodenum just a few mL at a time.
The ring of muscle at the entrance to the stomach is the lower esophageal sphincter. This muscle is normally contracted to close the esophagus. At the lower end of the stomach food passes through the pyloric sphincter and into the duodenum of the small intestine.
These rings of muscle are not only found either end of the stomach, but also at the base of the bladder. They are called sphincters. The lower sphincter in the stomach is specifically known as the pyloric sphincter, but I regret to say I do not know the exact names given to other sphincters.
The Lower Esophageal Sphincter.
It is actually four involuntary muscles. The longitudinal layer, circular layer and oblique layer of the muscularis externa and the pyloric sphincter
The three types of muscle are the 1) Cardiac muscle (which is only located in the heart.. your heart's made of this muscle) 2) Skeletal muscle (muscle that is around your bones) 3) Smooth muscle (Located in hollow internal structures such as blood vessels, stomach, etc)
from the inner part to the outer part of the stomach goes like this:*Oblique muscle layer, that comes after the first layer of mucosa;*Circular muscle layer. and Longitudinal muscle layer, these come consecutively from the inner part of the stomach to the outer part.Then after that comes the Serosa and then the body itselfhope it was uselful:]
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.
smooth muscle tissue. it is an involuntary muscle and the stomach can be controled by you.
