The pyloric sphincter muscle regulates the flow of chyme from the stomach to the duodenum just a few mL at a time.
The valve preventing the movement of chyme from the duodenum into the stomach is called the pyloric valve. The pyloric valve consists of a ring of smooth muscle and is connected to the duodenum.
The circular ring of muscle located at the entrance and exit of the stomach is referred to as a "sphincter" - the one at the entrance to the stomach is referred to as the cardiac sphincter, and the one at the exit of the stomach to the small intestines is referred to as the pyloric sphincter.

Pyloric sphincter
The pyloric sphincter regulates the passage of chyme into the duodenum (sm. intestine).
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.
Pyloric sphincter is located at the base of the stomach and is the contracting ring of muscle which guards the entrance of the to small intestine.It keeps the stomach shut at the far end so that it has a chance to digest proteins, then it opens and allows the contents of the stomach, now called chyme, to pass through the pyloric sphincter and enter the small intestine; the first section is called the duodenum and it does the majority of digestion and some absorption.It controls the emptying of chyme into duodenum.
It is called pyloric sphincter and it regulates the passage of digested food from the stomach onto the duodenum ( small intestine ).

Pyloric sphincter function is to push digested food from the lower part of the stomach into the Duodenum. It does this by the Sphincter muscle (circular muscle at an orifice) contracting closing the opening, then when relaxed it openings. this is done involuntarily. Kinda like passing stool, the sphincter muscle in the rectum (the anus) contracts and relaxes pushing the stool out of orifice, However, this is done voluntarily when constipated.
