Precapillary sphincters are small, ring-like muscles that can close or open parts of a capillary bed, depending on the oxygen and nutrient demands for the tissue
yes when sphincter's are closed the blood flows through shunts and by pass the tissues
The precapillary sphincter reduces or stops the flow of blood into the capillary when its smooth muscles contract. Its relaxation dilates the opening and allows blood to enter the capillary at a faster rate. The precapillary sphincters open when carbon dioxide levels rise as the tissues need more oxygen. They close when carbon dioxide levels decrease or when the body is under sympathetic stimulation.
What is the function of the cardiac sphincter?
cricopharyngeal sphincter
It prevents stomach acid and food that is digesting in the stomach to go back up the esophagus.

The internal urethral sphincter an involuntary sphincter that keeps the urethra closed when urine is not being used. The external urethral sphincter is fashioned by skeletal muscles as the urethra passes thorugh the pelvic floor.This sphincter is voluntary controlled.
A Metarteriole (or arterial capillary or precapillary sphincter) is a short vessel(s) that link arterioles and capillaries. Instead of a continuous tunica media, they have individual muscle cells placed a short distance apart, each forming a precappilary sphincter that encircles the entrance to one capillary. Constriction of these sphincters reduces or shuts off blood flow through their respective capillaries and diverts blood to tissues or organs elsewhere.
Sphincters prevent material from flowing backwards, like the pyloric sphincter in the stomach.
the Precapillary Sphincters control blood pressure and body temperature by regulating the flow of blood to the capillary bed.
precapillary sphincters
The main purpose of the sphincter is to control or limit a passage way to one direction. There are two main sphincters in pigs, the cardiac sphincter that controls the passageway from the esophagus into the stomach. And the pyloric sphincter that controls the passageway into the duodenum.
