Question

The____regulates the flow of contents from the stomach to the duodenum. A pyloric sphincter B) ileocecal sphincter C) appendix D) esophageal hiatus E) fundus

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

A) Pyloric sphincter

The pyloric sphincter is a muscular ring-like structure that regulates the flow of partially digested food (chyme) from the stomach into the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). It helps control the release of food into the small intestine, ensuring that digestion occurs at an appropriate pace.
