The ileocecal valve is a sphincter muscle and its function is to allow the passage of digested food frâ¦om the small intestine into the large intestine, as well as preventing the reflux of the contents of the large intestine back into the ileum (the last part of the small intestine).
The ileocecal sphincter leads to the large intestine. Patients suffering from a malfunction of the lower esophageal sphincter may require a feeding tube. The digestive system contains a total of six sphincters. The digestive system starts at the mouth and ends at the anus, where waste is discharged from the body. The involuntary and voluntary sphincters are responsible for defecating and expelling feces. Heartburn may occur as a result of stomach acids seeping into the esophageal tube.
