It is divided into two parts the pyloric antrum , which connects to the body of the stomach. the pyloric canal , which connects to the duodenum. The pyloric sphincter , or valve , is a strong ring of smooth muscle at the end of the pyloric canal and lets food pass from the stomach to the duodenum . It receives sympathetic innervation from celiac ganglion . Medical significance One medical condition associated with the pylorus is pyloric stenosis . In such conditions as stomach cancer , tumours may partly block the pyloric canal. A special tube can be implanted surgically to connect the stomach to the duodenum so as to facilitate the passage of food from one to the other. This tube is called a pyloric stent.

As a result, the stomach s secretion of essential substances such as hydrochloric acid , pepsin , and intrinsic factor is impaired, leading to digestion digestive problems, vitamin B12 deficiency vitamin B sub 12 sub deficiency , and megaloblastic anemia . It can be caused by persistent infection with Helicobacter pylori , or can be autoimmune in origin. Those with the autoimmune version of atrophic gastritis are statistically more likely to develop gastric carcinoma , Hashimoto s thyroiditis , and achlorhydria .
