Into which section of the gastrointestinal tract is chyme released from the stomach?

Explanation:
Gastric emptying moves stomach contents into the duodenum through the pyloric sphincter, which is the valve at the distal end of the stomach. This sphincter opens in small bursts to release chyme into the duodenum, the first section of the small intestine, where digestion continues with bile and pancreatic juices. The other options describe entry routes to or within the stomach or to the wrong part of the intestine (the esophageal–stomach junction or the ileocecal region), not the exit pathway.
