What makes the pyloric sphincter open and close?

The pyloric sphincter opens in response to the presence of food in the stomach. This triggers a reflex that relaxes the sphincter, allowing food to pass into the small intestine. The sphincter closes to prevent the backflow of intestinal contents back into the stomach.


How does pyloric sphincter know when to open to let out a little chyme and then close?

The pyloric sphincter opens in response to food entering the stomach. Stretch receptors in the stomach wall detect the food volume, signaling the sphincter to open and allow a controlled amount of chyme to pass into the small intestine for further digestion. Once the chyme has passed through, the sphincter closes to prevent backflow.


How does bulimia affect the esophagus?

The stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) that breaks down your food is extremely powerful, so, constant vomiting will wear away the lining of your esophagus. Eventually, you may wear holes in your esophagus, which can be fatal. Even if this doesn't happen, you will most likely have acid reflux for the rest of your life, since all the vomiting weakens your cardiac sphincter, which is basically like the lid of your stomach: it keeps the acid from splashing up into your esophagus. After years of vomiting many times a day, the sphincter constantly flaps open like the lid of a garbage can.

How does pyloric sphincter knows to open for chyme and when to close?

The pyloric sphincter opens in response to the presence of acidic chyme in the stomach. This triggers hormonal and neural signals that stimulate the sphincter to relax and allow the chyme to pass into the small intestine. Once the chyme has been emptied, feedback mechanisms signal the pyloric sphincter to close to prevent backflow of contents into the stomach.
