Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The region of the stomach that empties into the duodenum is the pylorus. The pylorus is located at the bottom of the stomach and is responsible for controlling the release of partially digested food (chyme) into the small intestine. The other options (antrum, fundus, body, and cardia) are other regions/sections of the stomach that have different functions.
