Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The O'Beirne sphincter controls the movement of wastes from the sigmoid colon into the rectum. None of the other options performs this function.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The ileogastric reflex, not the gastroduodenal, inhibits gastric motility when the ileum becomes distended. The gastroileal reflex, which is activated by an increase in gastric motility and secre-tion, stimulates an increase in ileal motility and relaxation of the ileocecal valve (sphincter). The gastrocolic reflex initiates propulsion in the entire colon, usually during or immediately after eat-ing, when chyme enters from the ileum.
