THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -With each wave, the pyloric sphincter opens and allows a little bit of chyme to pass into the duodenum. As the duodenum fills, it puts pressure on the pyloric sphincter, causing it to close. The duodenum then uses peristalsis to move the chyme through the rest of the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a process called gastric emptying, rhythmic mixing waves force about 3 mL of chyme at a time through the pyloric sphincter and into the duodenum. Release of a greater amount of chyme at one time would overwhelm the capacity of the small intestine to handle it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Once the chyme is well mixed, waves of muscle contractions propel it through a valve called the pylorus and into the upper section of your small intestine (duodenum). The pylorus might release about an eighth of an ounce (about 4 milliliters) of chyme at a time.
