How does pyloric sphincter knows to open for chyme and when to close?
The pyloric sphincter opens in response to the presence of acidic chyme in the stomach. This triggers hormonal and neural signals that stimulate the sphincter to relax and allow the chyme to pass into the small intestine. Once the chyme has been emptied, feedback mechanisms signal the pyloric sphincter to close to prevent backflow of contents into the stomach.
What makes the pyloric sphincter open and close?

How does pyloric sphincter know when to open to let out a little chyme and then close?
