What happens if you had your pyloric sphincter removed?

If the pyloric sphincter were to become parlyzed, therefore remaining in the open position, gastric contents would move very quickly through the stomach into the duodenum and intentestinal tract. Under normal conditions, when the stomach is empty, the sphincter relaxes, allowing the first several bites of food to reach the stomach to move on to the intestines for immediate absorption. After these arrive, the sphincter closes and reopens periodically to manage the flow of partially digested food. In the event this were to be stuck open, one would expect to experience a number of problems. Firstly, the feeling of never being full after eating. Secondly, allowing large quantities of under-digested food to reach the intestinal tract would likely cause constipation and therefore dysfunction of the absorption process, eventually leading to intestinal obstruction.

What is the passage way from the small intestine to the large intestine?

The small intestine has three parts -- duodenum, jejunum and ileum. The ileum, being the last part of the small intestine, is the section that empties chyme into the beginning of the large intestine, which is the cecum. Chyme is released from the ileum through the ileocecal valve, a sphincter muscle, and into the cecum. I suggest you look at online or textbook illustrations of the gastrointestinal tract to see what this looks like.

What is an advantage of folds in the stomach and in the intestines?

In the stomach, the folds (rugae) are there so that the stomach can expand under the influence of parasympathetic stimulation and stretching by the ingestion of food. This process is known as accommodation. There are permanent rugae forming a trough to direct fluids towards the pyloric sphincter in the absence of the ingestion of solid food. In the small intestines, the folds (plicae circulares) are one of many ways that the body increases surface area to improve the digestion (at the brushborder) and absorption of nutrients. In the large intestines, the haustral folds slow the progress of feces to improve reabsorption of water and sodium.
