Pyloric sphincter function is to push digested food from the lower part of the stomach into the Duodenum. It does this by the Sphincter muscle (circular muscle at an orifice) contracting closing the opening, then when relaxed it openings. this is done involuntarily. Kinda like passing stool, the sphincter muscle in the rectum (the anus) contracts and relaxes pushing the stool out of orifice, However, this is done voluntarily when constipated.
The opening of, or passage between, the stomach into the duodenum, lying to the right of the midline at the level of the upper border of the first lumbar vertebra. The orifice is usually indicated on the surface of the stomach by the circular duodenopyloric constriction.
The pylorus is located between the end of the stomach and the beginning of the duodenum or small intestine. The main function of the pylorus is to prevent food from reentering the stomach when the small intestine contracts and to limit the passage of large food particles or undigested material into the small intestine.
The pyloric sphincter divides the stomach from the duodenum of the small intestine. As a sphincter muscle, it has the ability to contract and relax. This controls the amount and rate of stomach contents being emptied into the small intestines, and prevents back flow into the stomach
The pylorus prevents the reflux of digestive contents from the duodenum into the stomach.

The function of the pyloric sphincter is that it controls the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestine.
In adults the pyloric muscle or valve can be closed by scarring (from ulceration) or cancer. Sometimes pyloric stenosis in infancy is not severe enough to warrant surgery and for whatever reason some of these children grow up still having problems with their pyloric function. Problems with the pyloric sphincter in adults can be managed by medication, lifestyle changes, and/or surgery.
The bottom of the stomach is the pyloric area, with the pyloric sphincter separating the stomach from the duodenum (first portion of the small intestine). The top of the stomach is the cardiac area with the cardiac sphincter. The pre-pyloric area is the area just above the phyloric sphincter where they do biopsies to test for an H-Pylori infection. The pyloric area consists of two parts the pyloric canal and the pyloric antrum.

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 function of the pyloric sphincter is that it controls the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestine.
Gastrin
The opening between the stomach and the small intestine is called the Pyloric Sphincter- it is a ring of muscle that contracts when the stomach is full, to seal off the opening to the small intestine whilst foodstuffs are liquified in the stomach. When this has been done, the sphincter muscle relaxes, re-opening the channel to allow the liquified nutrients into the intestines.
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.

In the starfish, the pyloric ceca has an absorptive function. It sits on top of the the gonads and is connected to the stomach.

Pyloric caeca or hepatic caeca helps in a starfish's digestion. It is located in the their arms. After swallowing their prey, they then place it in their Pyloric caeca where the digestion process starts.
The pyloris controls the rate of emptying of the stomach.
Also known as digestive caeca or hepatic caeca. Pyloric caeca (outpocketing) extends from the pyloric stomach of the starfish into each of the five arms.
