What controls the rate of transfer of the contents of the stomach into the small intestine?
the search terms that I collected researching this: digestion "pyloric sphincter" valve "vagal nerve" gastrin "G cell" "enterogastric reflex" "Regulation of gastric emptying" ------- At the boundary between the stomach and the small intestine is a sphincter (muscular thickening of the intestinal walls) called the pylorus. Control of the tension of the pylorus is controlled by sympathetic flow from the celiac ganglia as well as parasympathetic and enteric plexus nerves. Generally distension of the stomach promotes a reduction of tension and relaxation of the pylorus while there is a retrograde negative feedback from the small intestine back the pylorus.
