Question

Sort the options according to the order in which the food travels from the stomach to small intestine:

• A. Ileum
• B. Jejunum
• C. Duodenum
• D. Pylorus

Answer 1

The pylorus is the part of the stomach that connects to the small intestine.
This region includes the pyloric sphincter, which is a thick ring of muscle that acts as a valve to control the emptying of stomach contents (chyme) into the duodenum (first part of the small intestine). The jejunum and ileum are the distal two parts of the small intestine.
