Pyloric sphincter function is to push digested food from the lower part of the stomach into the Duodenum. It does this by the Sphincter muscle (circular muscle at an orifice) contracting closing the opening, then when relaxed it openings. this is done involuntarily. Kinda like passing stool, the sphincter muscle in the rectum (the anus) contracts and relaxes pushing the stool out of orifice, However, this is done voluntarily when constipated.
