Question 1 of 5
Through which opening does the food leave the stomach?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The pyloric sphincter. This is because the pyloric sphincter is the muscular valve located at the lower end of the stomach that controls the flow of partially digested food (chyme) into the small intestine. It regulates the release of food from the stomach into the duodenum for further digestion and absorption. Summary of incorrect choices: B: The ilea caecal valve - This valve is located between the ileum (part of the small intestine) and the cecum (part of the large intestine), not the stomach. C: The pelvic sphincter - This sphincter is associated with the rectum and anus, not the stomach. D: The pylorus sphincter - Similar to the correct answer, but the correct term is pyloric sphincter.
