Question

the valve or sphincter that controls the passage of the semi - liquid chyme from the stomach to the small intestine is known as
( \bigcirc ) ileocecal valve
( \bigcirc ) pyloric sphincter
( \bigcirc ) anal sphincter
( \bigcirc ) cardiac sphincter

Explanation:

The ileocecal valve controls the passage from the ileum (part of the small intestine) to the cecum (part of the large intestine). The anal sphincter controls the exit of feces from the body. The cardiac sphincter (lower esophageal sphincter) controls the passage from the esophagus to the stomach. The pyloric sphincter is located at the lower part of the stomach and regulates the movement of chyme (semi - liquid food mass) from the stomach to the small intestine.

pyloric sphincter
