A sphincter is a bone or nerve ending in your anus.. it is what gives you a good feeling when you take a **** or put something inside your anus. It's your butthole or your urethra.
It opens and closes when something needs to pass though.

Maybe you should just use a dictionary next time, instead of wasting our time.

It's a circular muscle. The most well known one is the anal sphincter, of course. However, you also have others, like the cardiac sphincter, that controls the opening and closing of the top of the stomach (if it fails, you get reflux and heartburn). A sphincter is a circular muscle which normally maintains constriction of a natural body passage or orifice and which relaxes as required by normal physiological functioning. There are at least 42 different sphincters in the human body, some of them microscopic in size.

Some examples of sphincters include:

The sphincter pupillae, or pupillary sphincter, belonging to the iris in the eye.
The orbicularis oris muscle, a muscle around the mouth.
The cardia/lower esophageal sphincter, or cardiac sphincter at the upper portion of the stomach. This sphincter prevents the acidic contents of the stomach from moving upward into the esophagus.
The pyloric sphincter, at the lower end of the stomach.
The sphincter of Oddi, or Glisson's sphincter, controlling secretions from the liver, pancreas and gall bladder into the duodenum.
The sphincter urethrae, or urethral sphincter, controlling the exit of urine from the body.
At the anus,there are two sphincters which control the exit of feces from the body.

butthole..

It the name of the muscle that keeps you from having an accident in your undies! It's an annular (shaped like a donut) muscle. Humans have one at the end of their digestive systems.

Okay Technically speaking."A spinchter is a ring of muscles.The most common spinchter known is the one in the anus."

The sphincter pupillae, or pupillary sphincter, belonging to the iris Everyone has two.. one sits at the botton of the esophagus which is like a draw string, it opens up when we are eating to allow the food to enter the stomach. The other one is by the colon which allows all the waste to leave the body. so after you eat and if your stomach can not hold any more food the sphincter closes off so no more food can go there until there is enough room. hope it helps

A sphincter says what?

Anyway, without being too graphic, the ring-like muscle at the outer end of the anus. In layman's terms, a bunghole.

A circular band or voluntary or involuntary muscle that encircles or closes an orifice of the body or one of its hollow organs. a muscular ring that closes a bodily opening
