No. The cardiac sphincter part of the stomach (also called the esophageal sphincter of the cardia) regulates how the food moves. This sphincter is close to the beginning of the stomach and it helps prevent gastric reflux back into the esophagus (GERD) or also called "heart burn". The contents of the stomach is a very strong acid.
The cardiac sphincter is the valve between the esophagus and the stomach.
What is the function of the cardiac sphincter?
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.
The sphincter muscle, or ileocecal valve is located at the junction of the small and large intestine.
The function of the cardiac sphincter is to prevent a back flow of materials back into the esophagus. The cardiac sphincter closes to allow the food to stay within the stomach so it can be digested. Cardiac sphincter, working with the pyloric sphincter keeps the stomach content from moving elsewhere.
The Cardiac sphincter prevents regurgitation of food from the stomach.
The cardiac sphincter and the pyloric sphincter.
the sphincter that separates the stomach from the small intestine is the pyloric sphincter
cardiac sphincter
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.
Bile is produced in the liver and stored in the gall bladder. The presence of lipids in the duodenum causes the release of bile. Ultimately the liver and gall bladder control the release of bile.
The bottom of the stomach is the pyloric area, with the pyloric sphincter separating the stomach from the duodenum (first portion of the small intestine). The top of the stomach is the cardiac area with the cardiac sphincter. The pre-pyloric area is the area just above the phyloric sphincter where they do biopsies to test for an H-Pylori infection. The pyloric area consists of two parts the pyloric canal and the pyloric antrum.
