The pyloric valve, a muscular structure located at the bottom of the stomach, is responsible for controlling the movement of food into the small intestine. There are several synonyms for the pyloric valve including the pylorus, gastroduodenal sphincter, and the outlet of the stomach. The pyloric region is an important anatomical area that functionally connects the stomach and the small intestine. It regulates the flow of gastric contents, ensuring the proper digestion and absorption of nutrients while preventing unwanted material from entering the small intestine too quickly. This structure is fundamental to the digestive process and is essential in maintaining optimal gut health.
