Gastro-duodenal junction
Several criteria differentiate the transition of pyloric stomach to the duodenum of the small intestine. As denoted by their names, gastric pits and gastric glands occur only in stomach. Villi, intestinal glands, and submucosal glands (also called Brunner’s glands) distinguish the duodenum. The inner circular layer of muscularis externa in the stomach is modified to form the pyloric sphincter. 10x

Pyloric sphincter >
The pyloric sphincter is an enlargement of the inner circular layer of the muscularis externa of the pylorus. Contraction and relaxation of this sphincter regulates the entry of stomach contents (chime) into the duodenum.
