Pyloric sphincter is located at the base of the stomach and is the contracting ring of muscle which guards the entrance of the to small intestine.
It keeps the stomach shut at the far end so that it has a chance to digest proteins, then it opens and allows the contents of the stomach, now called chyme, to pass through the pyloric sphincter and enter the small intestine; the first section is called the duodenum and it does the majority of digestion and some absorption.
It controls the emptying of chyme into duodenum.

Pyloric sphincter function?

What is pre-pyloric?
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.
What slows intestinal motility and causes the pyloric sphincter to contract?
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.
What are the names of the two sphincters of the stomach?
The cardiac (entry) and the pyloric (exit) sphincters.
Where is the pyloric sphincter is located?
duodeum
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 a sphincter in the digestive system?
The pyloric sphincter regulates passage of chymefrom the stomach
What is the Sphincter muscle at end of digestive tract?
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.
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).
What is the relationship between pyloric sphincter and chyme?
The pyloric sphincter regulates passage of chyme from the stomach.

What is the area of the body around the belly button is called?

Does a frog have a pyloric sphincter?
