One of the reasons that you are studying pigs, it that they are exactly like us. The pylorus in the digestive system in both pigs and humans is a part of the stomach that produces gastrin. It is the very last section of the stomach. It has a muscle like structure that forms a sphincter that controls the outlet of pyloric portion of stomach into duodenum.
