What 4 sphincters are associated with the gi tract?
The four bodily sphincters are the: 1. lower esophageal sphincter, or cardiac sphincter (esophagus to the stomach)2. Pyloric sphincter (stomach to small intestines)3. Ileocecal sphincter or valve (small intestines to large intestines)4. Anal sphincter (rectum to outside)
What is the term for failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax?
Esophageal achalasia is the term used for the failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax, resulting in functional obstruction of the esophagus, and dysphagia. There is total absence of peristalsis of esophagus, and failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax when food or liquid is swallowed. This gives rise to vomiting of food or liquid as soon as it is swallowed. There really isn't any cause but there are some guesses none are proven.
Sphincter found between the esophagus and the stomach?
What is the function of the cardiac sphincter?
What is another name for the esophageal sphincter?
cricopharyngeal sphincter
Interval between arrival of water at the sphincter and the opening of the sphincter?

What is the location of the hepatopancreatic sphincter through which pancreatic secretions and bile pass?
The hepatopancreatic sphincter is located at the junction of the hepatopancreatic ampulla and the duodenum.small intestineThe Sphincter of Oddi (the Hepatopancreatic Sphincter) is located in the second part of the duodenum.The Sphincter of Oddi is located in the second part of the duodenum. This Hepatopancreatic Sphincter controls the flow of pancreatic and bile fluids. It was named after the Ruggero Oddi the anatomist who first despcribed it.I am going to go out on a limb and guess that it is located in the pancreas?
What sphincter controls the release of bile and pancreatic juice into the small intestine?
The sphincter of Oddi (hepatopancreatic sphincter), controls the release of pancreatic enzymes and bile into the duodenum. During digestion, intestinal phase signals stimulate the release of bile.
Where are bile and pancreatic juice are emptied?
Duodenum has an opening for the dumping of bile and pancreatic juice called the hepatopancreatic sphincter
Where does the bile duct enter the duodenum?
The duodenum is the first, and smallest, section of the small intestine in mammals. It is the responsible for the majority of chemical digestion in the small intestines.
What role do the sphincter muscles play in digestion?
The lower esophageal sphincter keeps food from coming back up, or vomiting. When you have to vomit, the sphincter opens allowing the food to come back up. There is another sphincter, the pyloric sphincter which leads into the small intestine. Hope this helps!
What is the function of the sphincter of oddi?
It closes the common opening of the bile ducts and pancreatic duct and so helps to regulate digestion.

How does the cardiac and pyloric help with digestion and absorpation?
The pyloric sphincter is a valve that opens and closes to allow chyme to leave the stomach and enter the duodenum. The cardiac sphincter is a valve that opens and closes to prevent stomach acid from going up the esophagus.
What regulates the exit of partlially digested food?
The duodenum has a sphincter that controls the opening of the stomach to dump partially digested food into the small intestines. This sphincter can be weakened by stomach ulcers. After the duodenum, food stuffs continues through the small intestines where most digestion takes place.
What sphincters are use during digestion?
I can think of 5 off the top of my head. Cardiac Sphincter at the top of the stomach. Pyloric Sphincter at the distal end of the stomach. Ileocecal Valve that separates the Small and Large intestines and the Internal and External Anal sphincters.
The voluntary sphincter is the -----sphincter?
outer anal sphincter
