  1. physiological sphincter

    A physiological sphincter is a region of the body, particularly within the body's muscle or tissue structure, that acts as a barrier or gateway to control the movement or flow of substances. This includes fluids, semi-solid material, and gases within the specific organs or systems. It functions through involuntary movements or contractions and is not anatomically distinct as a true sphincter. An example of a physiological sphincter is the lower esophagus that prevents acid reflux from the stomach.
