The stomach has one main sphincter, known as the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), which separates the esophagus from the stomach. Additionally, at the exit of the stomach, there is the pyloric sphincter that controls the passage of partially digested food into the small intestine. These two sphincters play crucial roles in regulating the flow of food and preventing reflux.
