What is pyloric sphincter in a fetal pig?
The pyloric sphincter in a fetal pig is a muscular valve located at the junction between the stomach and the small intestine, specifically the duodenum. Its primary function is to regulate the passage of partially digested food (chyme) from the stomach into the small intestine, ensuring that it only enters when the intestine is ready to process it. This mechanism is crucial for efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients. The pyloric sphincter helps maintain proper digestive flow and prevents backflow from the intestine into the stomach.
