Musculus Sphincter Pylori is a circular muscle that controls the opening and closing of the stomach opening. Synonyms for this particular muscle are, but not limited to, circular muscle of the stomach, the pyloric sphincter, and the gastroduodenal sphincter. The muscle plays an essential role in the digestive process, as it regulates the flow of digestive contents from the stomach into the small intestine. The sphincter's relaxation allows for the passage of food into the duodenum, while the contraction of the muscle prevents the contents from backing up into the stomach. The proper functioning of the Musculus Sphincter Pylori is crucial in keeping the digestive system healthy and functional.
