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)
Between the stomach-small intestine is the Pyloric. Between the small intestine and large intestine is the ileo-caecal. Then 2 sphincters at the end of the "process:" one to send messages to your brain to tell you to go to the bathroom and one to "control" yourself.
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 function of the pyloric sphincter is that it controls the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestine.
The Pyloric Sphincter controls the movement of food between the stomach and the small intestine.

There are two openings in the stomach. The first opening is the esophageal sphincter, and the second is the Pyloric sphincter.
The large intestine begins at the ileocecal junction and extends to the anus. The ileocecal junction contains a muscular ring called the ileocecal sphincter, which prevents the backflow of wastes from the large intestine into the small intestine.
Sphincters are circumferential muscles that can relax or constrict to regulate the passage of material through a particular area. The stomach is bound by two sphincters in humans: the lower esophageal sphincter that keep stomach acid in the stomach and the pyloric sphincter that regulates the flow of food in the stomach into the duodenum.
The ring of muscle at the entrance to the stomach is the lower esophageal sphincter. This muscle is normally contracted to close the esophagus. At the lower end of the stomach food passes through the pyloric sphincter and into the duodenum of the small intestine.
from the pyloric sphincter in the epigastric in the epigastric region to the ileocecal valve (sphincter) in the right iliac region where it joins the large intestine.
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 Upper Esophageal Sphincter is a ring of skeletal muscle that controls the movement of food from pharynx to esophagus.
Both the upper and lower ends of the stomach have a sphincter that regulates flow into and out of the stomach. The lower esophageal sphincter is at the top of the stomach, and the pyloric sphincter is at the lower end of the stomach.
The pyloric sphincter regulates passage of chymefrom the stomach
