Is the ring like muscle that controls the flow from the stomach to the small intestine?
The ring like muscle that controls the flow from the stomach to the small intestine is called the pylorus or the pyloric sphincter. It is divided into two parts: the pyloric antrum which is connected to the body of the stomach and the pyloric canal which is connected to the beginning of the small intestine (the duodenum).
Ring of muscle in the stomach?
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.
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.

Ring-like muscle that controls the flow from the stomach to the small intestine?
It is called pyloric sphincter and it regulates the passage of digested food from the stomach onto the duodenum ( small intestine ).
How does the food get from the stomach to the small intestine?
Food leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine through the pyloric sphincter, a muscular valve at the end of the stomach. This process is controlled to ensure that the small intestine can properly digest and absorb nutrients from the food.
Where is pyloric sphincter located?
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.
What is the purpose of the pylorous?
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.
What muscle does the esophagus pass through to reach the stomach?
The lower esophageal sphincter muscle/the cardiac sphincter muscle.
