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 two sphincters of the stomach are the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), located at the junction of the esophagus and stomach, and the pyloric sphincter, found at the junction of the stomach and the small intestine.
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.
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).
The pyloric sphincter regulates passage of chyme from the stomach.

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.
The cardiac sphincter is located at the top of the stomach and controls the direction of food passing through the esophagus so that no food will re enter the esophagus. The Pyloric sphincter stops bile and digested food from entering the stomach, this valve is located at the bottom of the stomach.
