Answer 1

Answer:

Pyloric sphincter

Explanation:

The pyloric sphincter is known to be the muscle that connects stomach pylorus and the small intestine's duodenum. This muscle plays a very vital role in the digestion of food, and the muscle acts as though it is a valve controlling the flow of food that are partially digested from the stomach to the small intestine.
