Mainly the urinary sphincters prevent the backflow of urine backwards into the bladder and the kidneys. Sphincters allow one-way flow and to prevent leakage (or in other words, prevent accidental urine loss).

Which is the function of a sphincter which specific function does the pyloric sphincter have how does this aid the digestive process?

A sphincter is basically a hatch keeping stuff in and other stuff out of an organ such as the stomach. The pylorus is the muscle keeping the exit of the stomach shut, or opening it so that half-digested food may enter the duodenum to be digested further. The muscle ensures food can stay in the stomach long enough, and not flow right on through without being modified long enough by the stomach acids and digestive enzymes. It also regulates the amount of stuff that goes through.
