The spincters located in the esophagus are: the upper sphincter at the top and the lower (the cardiac sphincter) at the bottom of the esophagus. They regulate the food passing through the esophagus.

What are the valves in alimentary canal?
The gastrointestinal tract is equipped at critical junctures with a number of muscular valves, or sphincters , which, usually under the direction of the autonomic nervous system, can regulate the movement of food through the digestive tube. Another function of a sphincter is to prevent backflow of partially digested food.The first of these pursestring valves occurs at the cardia , the opening where the esophagus meets the stomach, and is called the cardiac sphincter , from its location almost directly in front of the heart. Another important muscle ring is the pyloric sphincter , at the opening called the pylorus , located at the other end of the stomach, at the connection between stomach and small intestine. The release of waste from the rectum is controlled, partly voluntarily, by an anal sphincter , located at the anus , which marks the end of the tract.
Ring of muscle in the stomach?
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.
What muscle is located at the upper and lower end of our stomach?
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.
What is the difference between the pyloric stomach and the cardiac stomach?
Both are ring like muscles and keep something in. They are both part of the digestive tract. A cardiac Sphincter is a tight ringlike muscle at the end of the esophagus, and before the stomach that keeps a horse from belching or vomiting. A pyloric Sphincter is basic anatomy for anyone. This is also a tight ring like muscles at the end of the stomach that keeps the stomach acids in the stomach and not spilling into the rest of the digestive tract.
The muscle located at the end of the esophagus that guards the stomach opening is the?
