Stomach and Duodenum
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).
A cholinergic agonist will cause the pyloric sphincter to relax, leading to increased gastric emptying. This is because cholinergic stimulation promotes smooth muscle relaxation in the gastrointestinal tract, allowing food to pass through the pyloric sphincter more easily.
The gastrointestinal tract contains sphincters, which are circular muscles that regulate the movement of material through the digestive system. Some examples of sphincters in the gastrointestinal tract include the lower esophageal sphincter, pyloric sphincter, and anal sphincter.
The pyloric sphincter, or valve, is a strong ring of smooth muscle at the end of the pyloric canal and lets food pass from the stomach to the duodenum. It receives sympathetic innervation from celiac ganglion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pylorus
The pyloric sphincter regulates passage of chymefrom the stomach
The pyloric sphincter connects the stomach to the small intestine. It controls the flow of partially digested food (chyme) from the stomach into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.
The pyloric sphincter regulates passage of chyme from the stomach.

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.
Yes, The pyloric sphincter valve regulates the exit of digested food from the stomach to the small intestine.
This is called the pyloric region. A sphincter called the pyloric sphincter is found there.
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.
