The pyloric sphincter connects the stomach to the small intestine. It controls the flow of partially digested food (chyme) from the stomach into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.
A sphincter is basically a hatch keeping stuff in and other stuff out of an organ such as the stomach. The pylorus is the muscle keeping the exit of the stomach shut, or opening it so that half-digested food may enter the duodenum to be digested further. The muscle ensures food can stay in the stomach long enough, and not flow right on through without being modified long enough by the stomach acids and digestive enzymes. It also regulates the amount of stuff that goes through.
a ring of muscle that controls the release of an organs products. EXAMPLE: Pyloric Sphincter controls release of chyme. Cardiac Sphincter controls deposition of food into the stomach from the esophagus. External Urethral Sphincter controls release of urine. External Anal Sphincter controls release of defecation.
The anus is composed of two sphincter muscles: the inner sphincter, which is involuntary, and the external sphincter, which is under voluntary control.
There is no anatomical sphincter present at junction between stomach and esophagus. The angle formed by greater curvature of stomach demarcates the two organs.
Diphenylamine has a simple structure consisting of two benzene rings connected by an amino group (-NH-). Each benzene ring has a phenyl group attached to it.
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).
Stomach and Duodenum
The cardiac sphincter and the pyloric sphincter.
The two sphincters of the stomach are the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), located at the junction of the esophagus and stomach, and the pyloric sphincter, found at the junction of the stomach and the small intestine.
There are two openings in the stomach. The first opening is the esophageal sphincter, and the second is the Pyloric sphincter.
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.
Sphincters are circumferential muscles that can relax or constrict to regulate the passage of material through a particular area. The stomach is bound by two sphincters in humans: the lower esophageal sphincter that keep stomach acid in the stomach and the pyloric sphincter that regulates the flow of food in the stomach into the duodenum.
The pyloric part is the part of the stomach that connects with the intestine. This part is divided into two specific pieces.
The bottom of the stomach is the pyloric area, with the pyloric sphincter separating the stomach from the duodenum (first portion of the small intestine). The top of the stomach is the cardiac area with the cardiac sphincter. The pre-pyloric area is the area just above the phyloric sphincter where they do biopsies to test for an H-Pylori infection. The pyloric area consists of two parts the pyloric canal and the pyloric antrum.
LES-Lower Esophageal Sphincter aka Cardiac Sphincter prevents stomach contents from entering the esophagus.UES-Upper Esphageal Sphincter- Reduces air entering the stomachPyloric Sphincter is found at the end of the stomach and control the release of food from the stomach to the small intestine.

The pylorus is also called as Pyloric Sphincter. Its two mainly functions are to prevent the food from backflow from the duodenum into the stomach and to make sure that the food that stay in the stomach is long enough after being seethe.
