Prevents the contents of the small intestine from backing up into the stomach
the sphincter releases small balls of food into the duodenum, as the duodenum cannot hold large quantities of food. Basically it acts as a gateway to the duodenum
The function of the pyloric sphincter is that it controls the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestine.
Pyloric sphincter controls the movement of food from stomach to duodenum. With parasympathetic or vagal stimulation it opens up or relaxes and with sympathetic stimulation it contracts or closes.
In adults the pyloric muscle or valve can be closed by scarring (from ulceration) or cancer. Sometimes pyloric stenosis in infancy is not severe enough to warrant surgery and for whatever reason some of these children grow up still having problems with their pyloric function. Problems with the pyloric sphincter in adults can be managed by medication, lifestyle changes, and/or surgery.
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.
the pyloric sphincter regulates the speed at which the chyme (mixture of food from stomach) can enter into the small intestine to be digested. The pyloric sphincter opens and closes according to the acidity of the chyme.
The function of the pyloric sphincter is that it controls the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestine.
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
The pyloric sphincter regulates passage of chymefrom the stomach
the control of releasing material from the pyloric area of the stomach.
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).
The pyloric sphincter regulates passage of chyme from the stomach.

The spincters located in the esophagus are: the upper sphincter at the top and the lower (the cardiac sphincter) at the bottom of the esophagus. They regulate the food passing through the esophagus.
In adults the pyloric muscle or valve can be closed by scarring (from ulceration) or cancer. Sometimes pyloric stenosis in infancy is not severe enough to warrant surgery and for whatever reason some of these children grow up still having problems with their pyloric function. Problems with the pyloric sphincter in adults can be managed by medication, lifestyle changes, and/or surgery.
The pyloric sphincter is mediated by excitatory cholinergic vagal fibers, so a cholinergic agonist would constrict the sphincter.
This is called the pyloric region. A sphincter called the pyloric sphincter is found there.
