This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

The combining form pylor slash o names the pylorus, the opening between the stomach and small intestine.

Show

Pyloric stenosis is narrowing of this opening.

Watch for

The pylorus is a passage, so terms about it often use narrowing or dilation suffixes.
