What is the fluid mixture that moves from the stomach to the Pyloric sphincter called?
The fluid mixture that moves from the stomach to the pyloric sphincter is called chyme. Chyme is a semi-liquid substance formed when food is mixed with gastric juices, including enzymes and hydrochloric acid, during digestion. It is gradually released from the stomach into the small intestine through the pyloric sphincter for further digestion and nutrient absorption.

In human beings the opening of the stomach into the small intestine is called?
The opening of the stomach into the small intestine is called the pyloric sphincter. It regulates the flow of partially digested food from the stomach to the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.
What hole allows food from the stomach into the small intestine?
The hole that allows food from the stomach into the small intestine is called the pylorus. It is a muscular valve located at the lower end of the stomach. When it relaxes, it allows the partially digested food (chyme) to pass from the stomach into the small intestine.
What is the tube that connects to the stomach?
The cardiac sphincter connects the esophagus to the stomach.
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.
Why can't you feel your stomach squeezing and opening?
You actually can. If you pay close attention the next time you burp, you may notice a 'relaxing' feeling deep in your belly. This is the lower valve, called the pyloric sphincter, opening to allow gas from your small intestine into your stomach, and then the upper valve, the esophageal sphincter, open and release the belch into your esophagus with the final result being your vocal cords in your larynx vibrating to make that familiar sound we all know and love as a burp!
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).
Valve preventing movement of chyme from the duodenum into the stomach?
The pyloric sphincter, or valve, is a strong ring of smooth muscle at the end of the pyloric canal and lets food pass from the stomach to the duodenum. It receives sympathetic innervation from celiac ganglion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pylorus
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.
What is the name of the valve at the bottom of the stomach?
I believe that it is called the Pyloric Sphincter.
What is the name of the valve at the end of the esophagus?
A band of muscles at the opening of the stomach called the Cardiac (due to its proximity to the heart) Sphincter.
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.
Name of the valve between the esophagus and the stomach?
The stomach and first part of the small intestine (duodenum) is connected by pylorus which has 2 parts. The on the stomach opening is called pyloric antrum and the opening in the duodenum is the pyloric canal type.
What valve controls the movement of food between the stomach and small intestine?
The valve that controls the movement of food between the stomach and small intestine is called the pyloric sphincter. It regulates the passage of partially digested food from the stomach into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption.
What is the area of the body around the belly button is called?
This is called the pyloric region. A sphincter called the pyloric sphincter is found there.
In human beings the opening of the stomach into the small intestine is called?
The opening of the stomach into the small intestine is called the pyloric sphincter. It regulates the flow of partially digested food from the stomach to the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.
What is the name of the valve that prevents regurgitation of food from the small intestine back into the stomach?
epiglottis
The two muscles which contract to seal off food while it is churning in the stomach during the digestive process are called?
The two muscles are the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and the pyloric sphincter. The LES prevents food from going back up into the esophagus, while the pyloric sphincter controls the flow of partly digested food from the stomach into the small intestine.
