The iris of the eye has two main types of muscles - the radial muscle and the sphincter muscle. The radial muscle lies on the outside of the iris, and the sphincter muscle surrounds the pupil, allowing it to dilate and contract.

The collarette is the region of the iris separating the pupillary muscle from the ciliary muscle. It also occupies the region where the sphincter muscle and dilator muscles overlap.

The ring of muscle at the entrance to the stomach is the lower esophageal sphincter. This muscle is normally contracted to close the esophagus. At the lower end of the stomach food passes through the pyloric sphincter and into the duodenum of the small intestine.

The spincters located in the esophagus are: the upper sphincter at the top and the lower (the cardiac sphincter) at the bottom of the esophagus. They regulate the food passing through the esophagus.

The ring like muscle that controls the flow from the stomach to the small intestine is called the pylorus or the pyloric sphincter. It is divided into two parts: the pyloric antrum which is connected to the body of the stomach and the pyloric canal which is connected to the beginning of the small intestine (the duodenum).

Sphincter muscles are circular muscles that control the opening and closing of various body passages and openings. They help regulate the flow of substances, such as food or waste, through these passages by contracting and relaxing. Examples include the sphincter muscles of the gastrointestinal tract and the urinary system.

The English name is pyloric sphincter (i.e. pylori has a c at the end). The Latin is sphincter pylori. This is a sphincter muscle at the lower end of the stomach controlling the amount of food being released into the duodenum.

A muscle sphincter is a band of tissue that contracts. The body has several muscle sphincters. Sphincters control back flow of acids and food from the stomach into the esophagus, and the contents of the small intestine from backing up into the stomach. The bladder sphincter controls holding and releasing urine, but helps to prevent bacteria from getting into the bladder. The anal sphincter controls elimination so we don't lose bowel movement in the wrong place or at the wrong time. Though each sphincter is strong, some conditions can wear down the effectiveness of this tissue band. Hiatal hernia can let stomach acids into the esophagus. The urinary sphincter can weaken with pregnancy, obesity, diuretics, and aging. Obesity, overuse of enemas or laxatives, anal sex, and aging can weaken the anal sphincter.
Note: No organ is a muscle sphincter, but some organs have muscle sphincters. The main organs that have muscle sphincters are ones that fluid/contents can move in two directions, in and out, and serve to protect those organs from damage. So for example, the bladder is smooth muscle and as an organ has a urinary sphincter.

A sphincter muscle controls a circular opening in the body. It serves to regulate the passage of substances through the opening by contracting or relaxing. Examples include the anal sphincter and the sphincter muscles in the digestive system.

The circular ring of muscle located at the entrance and exit of the stomach is referred to as a "sphincter" - the one at the entrance to the stomach is referred to as the cardiac sphincter, and the one at the exit of the stomach to the small intestines is referred to as the pyloric sphincter.

In your eye? That is the iris (not a halo). Your iris is actually a sphincter (a circular muscle) and it will expand or constrict to control how much light is let into your eye. That is why in dim light your pupil will be really big, because it is opening wide to try to let in as much light as possible so you can see better.

An anatomical sphincter is a circular muscle that controls the opening and closing of a passageway in the body, such as the anal sphincter or the pyloric sphincter. A physiological sphincter refers to a functional constriction at the point where a vessel or structure empties into a cavity, such as the cardiac sphincter at the entrance of the stomach.

The internal urethral sphincter an involuntary sphincter that keeps the urethra closed when urine is not being used.
The external urethral sphincter is fashioned by skeletal muscles as the urethra passes thorugh the pelvic floor.This sphincter is voluntary controlled.

If the sphincter muscle, such as the anal sphincter, were severed, it could lead to issues with bowel control, resulting in fecal incontinence. Surgical intervention may be necessary to repair or reconstruct the sphincter to restore proper function. Physical therapy and lifestyle modifications may also be needed to manage symptoms.
