The pyloric sphincter regulates the passage of chyme into the duodenum (sm. intestine).
Pyloric sphincter
lower esophageal sphincter or gastroesophageal sphincter
The ring like muscle that controls the flow from the stomach to the small intestine is called the pylorus or the pyloric sphincter. It is divided into two parts: the pyloric antrum which is connected to the body of the stomach and the pyloric canal which is connected to the beginning of the small intestine (the duodenum).
It is called pyloric sphincter and it regulates the passage of digested food from the stomach onto the duodenum ( small intestine ).
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.

Pyloric sphincter
The ring of muscle that controls the passage of material from the stomach into the small intestine.
The pyloric sphincter muscle regulates the flow of chyme from the stomach to the duodenum just a few mL at a time.
Both the upper and lower ends of the stomach have a sphincter that regulates flow into and out of the stomach. The lower esophageal sphincter is at the top of the stomach, and the pyloric sphincter is at the lower end of the stomach.
