- Ileo-caecal valve
- Gastro-oesophageal sphincter
- Pyloric sphincter
- Sphincter of Oddi

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The ileo-cecal valve is located between the small intestine (ileum) and the large intestine (cecum). It prevents the backflow of undigested and unabsorbed substances from the large intestine (cecum) back into the small intestine (ileum), thus helping to maintain the flow of digestion and absorption in the correct direction.
The correct option is (A): Ileo-caecal valve

- Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : The potential (V) at any axial point, at 2 m distance(r) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector \(\vec{P}\) of magnitude, 4 × 10-6 C m, is ± 9 × 103 V.
(Take \(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9\) SI units)
Reason R : \(V=±\frac{2P}{4\pi \epsilon_0r^2}\), where r is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole.
