Solution
The correct option is D Sphincter of Oddi
The sphincter of Oddi (also hepatopancreatic sphincter or Glisson'ssphincter), abbreviated as SO, is a muscular valve that controls the flow of digestive juices (bile and pancreatic juice) through the ampulla of Vater into the second part of the duodenum.
Semilunar valves are a pair of valves in the heart, at the bases of the aorta and the pulmonary artery, consisting of three cusps or flaps which prevent the flow of blood back into the heart.
The ileocecal valve is a sphincter muscle valve that separates the small intestine and the large intestine.
The pyloric sphincter is a band of smooth muscle at the junction between the pylorus of the stomach and the duodenum of the small intestine.
