Pylorus (pylorus) is an anatomical term that refers to the area of ​​the stomach located between the pylorus and the duodenum. This area plays an important role in regulating digestion and metabolism.

The pylorus has a complex structure and consists of several layers of muscles, including the orbicularis muscle, longitudinal muscle and interventricular muscle. It also contains glands such as parietal cells and chief cells that secrete hydrochloric acid and pepsin.

The main function of the pylorus is to regulate the movement of food from the stomach to the duodenum. It controls the speed and volume of food passing through the stomach to ensure smooth and efficient digestion. In addition, the pylorus plays a role in protecting the stomach from infections and toxins that can enter the body through food.

Malfunction of the pylorus can lead to various diseases, such as gastric ulcer, gastroesophageal reflux disease, gastritis, pancreatitis and others. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of the pylorus and consult a doctor if symptoms related to its work occur.
