The pyloric region of the stomach, also known as the pylorus, is the narrow passage that connects the stomach to the small intestine. It plays a crucial role in regulating the movement of partially digested food, known as chyme, from the stomach into the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. The pyloric sphincter, a muscular valve at the exit of the pylorus, controls this process by opening and closing in response to the digestive needs of the body.

What is between stomach and small intestine?
The opening between the stomach and the small intestine is called the Pyloric Sphincter- it is a ring of muscle that contracts when the stomach is full, to seal off the opening to the small intestine whilst foodstuffs are liquified in the stomach. When this has been done, the sphincter muscle relaxes, re-opening the channel to allow the liquified nutrients into the intestines.
What do you think are the functions of the pyloric valve and the cardiac valve in a pig?
