Pyloric valve
The valve preventing the movement of chyme from the duodenum into the stomach is called the pyloric valve. The pyloric valve consists of a ring of smooth muscle and is connected to the duodenum.
The Pylorus (the valve between the stomach and duodenum is the pyloric valve)

Pyloric sphincter controls the movement of food from stomach to duodenum. With parasympathetic or vagal stimulation it opens up or relaxes and with sympathetic stimulation it contracts or closes.
The duodenum is the valve between the stomach and the small intestine.
The pyloric valve, or pyloric sphincter, remains open primarily due to the relaxation of its smooth muscle fibers in response to neural and hormonal signals. When the stomach contents are adequately processed, the presence of chyme in the stomach stimulates gastric motility, allowing small amounts to pass into the duodenum. The release of hormones like gastrin and the stretching of the stomach also play a role in regulating its opening and closing. Additionally, the pressure differences between the stomach and the duodenum help facilitate the valve's function.

A gastroduodenostomy, also known as a gastrojejunostomy, is a surgical procedure that creates a connection between the stomach and the duodenum or jejunum. This procedure is typically done to treat conditions like gastric outlet obstruction or to bypass a portion of the stomach to aid in digestion and nutrient absorption.
The stomach and first part of the small intestine (duodenum) is connected by pylorus which has 2 parts. The on the stomach opening is called pyloric antrum and the opening in the duodenum is the pyloric canal type.
The duodenum is only the first portion of the small intestine. The small intestine comprises the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum. Following the ileum of the small intestine is the ileocecal valve, which separates the small intestine from the large intestine. The duodenum is separated from the stomach by the pyloric sphincter.
