The pyloric valve, or pyloric sphincter, remains open primarily due to the relaxation of its smooth muscle fibers in response to neural and hormonal signals. When the stomach contents are adequately processed, the presence of chyme in the stomach stimulates gastric motility, allowing small amounts to pass into the duodenum. The release of hormones like gastrin and the stretching of the stomach also play a role in regulating its opening and closing. Additionally, the pressure differences between the stomach and the duodenum help facilitate the valve's function.

What disorder causes the Pyloric Sphincter to not open to let food into the stomach?
Pyloric stenosis is a disorder that causes the pyloric sphincter to become abnormally thickened, resulting in a blockage that prevents food from passing into the stomach. This condition is more common in infants and typically requires surgical intervention to correct.
The pressure exerted by food on what valve causes it to open so that food can enter the stomach?
The lower esophageal sphincter. Actually it is triggered to relax by the nervous system as part of the swallowing reflex so the question is a bit overly simplistic if not just wrong.
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.
What are ring like valves that keep body tubes closed off until it is appropriate to open for a moment?
Two of them are the pyloric valve, which opens and closes to let the contents of the stomach enter the small intestine, and the sphincter valve which opens to let the contents of the sigmoid colon move to the "outside world". Actually, "sphincter" is the general word for any such muscular ringlike valve.
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 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.
Why can't you feel your stomach squeezing and opening?
You actually can. If you pay close attention the next time you burp, you may notice a 'relaxing' feeling deep in your belly. This is the lower valve, called the pyloric sphincter, opening to allow gas from your small intestine into your stomach, and then the upper valve, the esophageal sphincter, open and release the belch into your esophagus with the final result being your vocal cords in your larynx vibrating to make that familiar sound we all know and love as a burp!
What causes the gastroesophageal sphincter to open to allow food to enter the stomach?
the arrival of the peristaltic wave at the stomach
What controls the passage of material from the small intestine to the large intestine?
There are structural (anatomical) and functional (physiological) ways the digestive system regulates how food is passed from the stomach to the small intestine. The major anatomical regulators are the pyloric sphincter (a muscular band that acts like a valve to open and close the connection between the stomach and small intestine) and the pyloric antrum (the part of the stomach commonly associated with stomach motility, mixing, and propulsion of stored foodstuffs into the small intestine). When the pyloric sphincter is relaxed and the antrum is active, food is propelled into the small intestine; when the sphincter is constricted and the antrum is relaxed, food is stored in the stomach. A number of physiological factors exist that regulate the activity of the pyloric sphincter and antrum. The principal regulators are nerves and hormones involved in the digestive process. The vagus nerve is an example of a nerve with major regulatory effects on motility of the stomach and small intestine. Gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) are gut hormones also involved in stomach motility. Gastrin is secreted in response to food (particularly amino acids, the building blocks of proteins) in the stomach and stimulates antral motility that serves to mix food. Strong antral contractions cause opening of the pyloric sphincter and the movement of food into the small intestine. CCK is released in response to foodstuffs (particularly fats) in the small intestine and inhibits antral motility of the stomach.
Which animal can take his stomach out?
There is no animal that can take its stomach out. It's impossible but there are some animals that can flip their stomachs inside out. One of those animals is the starfish. Another is the great white shark..Fun Fact: Starfish have two stomachs: the cardiac stomach and the pyloric stomach. The cardiac stomach is a sack like stomach located at the center of the body and may be pushed out of the body to engulf and digest food. Some species are able to force open the shells of clams and mussels by injecting their stomachs into the shells. With the stomach inserted inside the shell, the starfish is able to digest the mollusk in place. The cardiac stomach is then brought back inside the body, and the partially digested food is moved to the pyloric stomach. Further digestion occurs in the intestine.
What causes air sputtering after valve is open?
probably the O RING which is located under the spigot swivel
Is the saddle valve open or closed?
The saddle valve is open.
