Pylorus The pylorus (/paɪˈlɔərəs/ or /pᵻˈlɔərəs/), or pyloric part, connects the stomach to the duodenum. The pylorus is considered as having two parts, the pyloric antrum (opening to the body of the stomach) and the pyloric canal (opening to the duodenum). The pyloric canal ends as the pyloric orifice, which marks the junction between the stomach and the duodenum. The orifice is surrounded by a sphincter, a band of muscle, called the pyloric sphincter. The word pylorus comes from the Greek πυλωρός, gate guard.

Anatomy Anatomy. The pyloric sphincter is a thin, circular band of visceral muscle surrounding the pyloric opening at the inferior end of the stomach. It is found at the border of the stomach’s final segment, the pylorus, and the small intestine’s first segment, the duodenum....he pyloric sphincter prevents the regurgitation of chyme from the duodenum into the stomach. It also controls the flow of chyme into the intestine, which provides the intestines with a manageable volume of chyme from which to absorb nutrients.
