The ileocecal valve is definitely in the intestines, but I think the pyloric valve is the one we want here.

I keep mixing up the mitral and pyloric valves. Are they both related to digestion?

I remember practicing a question about digestive valves, and I think the pyloric was the right answer there too.

I think the valve between the stomach and small intestine is the pyloric valve, but I’m not completely sure.
