What are the names of the two sphincters of the stomach?

Where is the esophageal sphincter located?
Anatomic location The anterior muscles include the superior and inferior hyoid muscles. The superior hyoid muscles include the geniohyoideus, mylohyoideus, stylohyoideus, hyoglossus, and anterior belly of the digastricus. These muscles arise from various structures superior to the hyoid bone and insert onto the superior aspect of the hyoid bone.

What is the location of the three sphincters of your body?
The three major sphincters in the human body are located in different areas. The upper esophageal sphincter is found at the top of the esophagus, controlling the passage of food from the throat into the esophagus. The lower esophageal sphincter is located at the junction of the esophagus and stomach, preventing acid reflux. The anal sphincter is situated at the end of the rectum, regulating the expulsion of feces from the body.
Name and describe the function of two valves found in the stomach?
To hold the food within the stomach there are two valves. At the top of the stomach is the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) which prevents backsplash of stomach contents upward into the esophagus. At the bottom of the stomach is the pyloric which controls the "drain" of the stomach.
Do sheep have a cardiac sphincter?
Yes, they would have to, otherwise the digesta from the rumen and reticulum would be free come up if the stomach compartments get quite full. It is found at the junction between the esophagus and the ruminal/reticular junction. When a bolus of cud is to be regurgitated, the sphincter muscle relaxes and allows the cud to come up to be chewed, and relaxes again to allow the rechewed bolus to be returned to the rumen. Cardiac sphincters are also found between most of the chambers in the ruminant animal for the same reason as stated above. Check out the three sources below for further information and pictures for proof:
How the food is prevented from going back into the oesophagus?
Willpower and disgust. Once the food is outside your body, you do not normally want to eat it again. Disgust prevents most people from doing this, but if you do not feel that naturally, you have to use willpower. Some animals eat their own feces so the food does re-enter the esophagus at least once. This is called 'coprophagy' and is important for animals that need to digest food twice. There are also animals called 'ruminants' who send the food back into their mouths for a second chewing, so their food passes through the esophagus three times - down, then back up, then back down again.

These rings of muscle are not only found either end of the stomach, but also at the base of the bladder. They are called sphincters. The lower sphincter in the stomach is specifically known as the pyloric sphincter, but I regret to say I do not know the exact names given to other sphincters.
