Pyloric sphincter function?

The pyloric sphincter is a muscular valve that controls the flow of partially digested food (chyme) from the stomach to the small intestine. It regulates the release of chyme in small amounts to ensure proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. Dysfunction of the pyloric sphincter can lead to conditions like gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
