The pyloric sphincter
The sphincter muscle, or ileocecal valve is located at the junction of the small and large intestine.

It is called pyloric sphincter and it regulates the passage of digested food from the stomach onto the duodenum ( small intestine ).
The ring of muscle that controls the passage of material from the stomach into 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).
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.
When the meal you just ate is fully mixed, a round muscle at the bottom of the stomach-the sphincter- relaxes and some of the contents ofthe stomach are released into the small intestine. The first metre of the small intestine is called the duodenum, which is where most digestion takes place. This structure, has small tubes has small duxts that connect to the pancreas
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.
Alcohol consumption can relax the pyloric valve, which is a muscle at the bottom of the stomach that controls the flow of food into the small intestine. This can lead to faster emptying of the stomach contents into the small intestine, potentially causing issues with digestion and absorption of nutrients.
small intestine is a tube like structure,which is composed of smooth muscle cells.it can absorb the digested product of food which is digested by stomach.
The small intestine is in the abdomen between the stomach and the large intestine.
The small intestine plays a role in digestion of carbs and fats, but the primary role of the small intestine is the absorption of nutrients broken down by digestion. These include, the absorption of: Proteins (amino acids), Carbohydrates (monosaccharides), Fats (lipids), Vitamins and Minerals.
