Wikipedia
pyloric
The pylorus ( or ), or pyloric part, connects the stomach to the duodenum. The pylorus is considered as having two parts, the pyloric antrum (opening to the body of the stomach) and the pyloric canal (opening to the duodenum). The pyloric canal ends as the pyloric orifice, which marks the junction between the stomach and the duodenum. The orifice is surrounded by a sphincter, a band of muscle, called the pyloric sphincter. The word pylorus comes from Greek πυλωρός, via Latin. The word pylorus in Greek means "gatekeeper", related to "gate" (Greek: pyle) and is thus linguistically related to the word "pylon".

Pyloric refers to the part of the stomach that connects to the small intestine, specifically the lower part of the stomach known as the pylorus. This region plays a crucial role in digestion, controlling the passage of partially digested food from the stomach to the small intestine. Thus, the term "pyloric" is often used in medical and biological contexts related to the digestive system.
